Regardless of your weight, age, physical activity or any other indicator, the norm of sweets that cannot be exceeded is the same for everyone.
The less sugar you eat, the better, says nutritionist Antonina Starodubova.
If we give specific figures, then, according to WHO recommendations, the amount of sugar consumed per day should not exceed 50 g.
To get a rough idea of how much this is in practice, here's an example: an average serving of pancakes contains 30 g of sugar.
Without monitoring your diet, it is unlikely that you will not exceed the norm, so the nutritionist recommends monitoring the amount of sugar and sweets and limiting the consumption of confectionery and sweet carbonated drinks.
This advice applies not only to adults, but also to children - parents should offer their children as few sweets as possible and under no circumstances use chocolate or ice cream as a reward.
Let sweets become a “festive dish” that can be eaten 1-2 times a week, on Saturday or Sunday, but not as a reward or punishment.
You can replace sweets with berries and fruits or desserts like jelly, marmalade or pastilles, which contain little sugar.
