Bad news for those with a sweet tooth: during hot periods, it is advisable to stop or at least minimize the consumption of confectionery products.
The fact is that cakes, pastries, chocolate bars, ice cream, cookies and candies contain many components that pose a serious danger to the human body in conditions of high air temperature.
First of all, we are talking about sugar and fats.
There are three reasons to give up sweets in the heat.
Fatigue
Eating high-calorie confectionery products means that the body has to spend a lot of energy to digest such food.
In hot weather, when your health is already not ideal, a sweet tooth may experience increased fatigue.
Dehydration
An abundance of sweets in the diet in hot weather is also bad because there is a risk of dehydration.
The fact is that confectionery products contain a lot of sugar and a lot of salt.
Sleep problems
If you eat a lot of sweets, your blood glucose levels may spike.
This can cause problems with sleep. Especially in hot weather, when a good night's rest is already difficult due to the stuffiness and high air temperature.
