Is Candy Good For You In Any Way?

You don’t need to give up candy entirely, just enjoy the sweetness in moderation! Whether you have one or a handful does not make a difference because you will always want more in your mind, so you might as well just have one or two, or none at all. It is all about your mindset. I have a sweet tooth and have found ways to emotionally or mindfully eat candies in a good way as an occasional treat. First, is how to keep your body and brain happy and healthy so you can satisfy
your sweet tooth in a quilt-free way!

Favorite Candy List

1. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water daily.

2. Exercise regularly with at least 2 to 3 hours of physical activity per week to keep your body's insulin regulated.

3. Get plenty of sleep. as this is a priority, aim at seven hours per night and avoid screens at least an hour before bedtime.

4. Check for nutritional deficiencies by eating a balanced diet daily and take vitamin and mineral supplements, if needed. Keep your hormones balanced by consuming enough protein and fiber and maintaining a healthy weight.

6. Brush your teeth at least twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste and use dental floss.

Atomic Fireballs, Gobstoppers, and Sweetarts. Hard candy can also temporarily relieve a cough or a sore throat. Some kinds of candy, such as chocolate, have antioxidant benefits that neutralize free radicals helping to protect cells from damage and lowering the risk of heart disease, cancers, and other diseases. Candy containing nuts, such as Snickers and Payday Bars, combine fat and protein, which is more satiating than candy with empty calories. There is even healthier low sugar and low fat candies these days using fruits, natural extracts, coconut milk, etc. Moderation and mindful consumption is key, so get your favorite  CANDY (paid link) today! 🍭As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Candy can be great right before a run or workout because the simple sugars are a fast source of energy. 

And, the simple sugars can help you after a workout too, to quickly replenish depleted glycogen stores in your muscles. It is also great for low blood sugar because of its fast-acting carbohydrates. 

I highly recommend the Brach's Classic Assorted Chocolates Mix, cotton candy grapes chewing gum, and REESE'S Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups (Antioxidants and Protein). WIN-WIN! 😁
