A dozen useful sweets
Black chocolate. I'll have to forget about the amazing taste of milk chocolate and love the bitter. There are few calories in it, but a lot of other useful substances, such as antioxidants, flavonoids (take care of capillaries and have a sedative effect), calcium, protein, iron, magnesium and vitamins.
Zephyr. Much less caloric than most sweets. Contains a lot of iron and phosphorus, as well as proteins that strengthen muscle tissue.
Pastille. In reasonable quantities, the pastille can be eaten without fear of a figure. It, like marmalade, reduces the negative impact of radiation and removes salts of heavy metals from the body.
Marmalade. It is useful, first of all, thanks to the natural component - pectin, which gives it a jelly-like shape. Pectin reduces the level of cholesterol, removes toxins and normalizes the activity of the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, it does not have many calories!
Honey. Contains as many calories as sugar. However, it is much sweeter, therefore, you need less of it, for example, if you are used to putting 2 tablespoons of sugar in tea, then replacing it with honey, you can completely manage one. In addition, vitamins, minerals and amino acids necessary for the body are found in honey. In 100 g of honey is the daily rate of magnesium, manganese and iron.
Halva. It is not only exceptionally tasty, but also has a rejuvenating effect on the body. Vitamins A, E and group B in the composition of halva have a beneficial effect on the skin condition, and also strengthen the cardiovascular system. It's no secret that since ancient times, halva has been used for cosmetic purposes.
Candied fruits. A natural product that contains many valuable antioxidant vitamins: beta-carotene, tocopherol and ascorbic acid. Candied fruits improve memory, help to focus better, relieve fatigue, help keep nerves under control. At the same time they are useful and low-calorie.
Jam. A storehouse of vitamins and minerals. However, to preserve its useful properties, it can not be cooked according to the "grandmother's recipe". Cooking should be a jam-five-minute or a cold jam. The most useful are the raspberry, quince, cinnamon and nut jam.
Cane sugar. Even 20 years ago, Western nutritionists said that brown cane sugar is much more useful than classic white peeled. Passed the minimum industrial processing, cane sugar is beneficial for the body, because thanks to molasses contains a whole range of useful trace elements (calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, potassium).
Fruits and berries. They contain many vitamins, trace elements, mineral salts and antioxidants, essential for our health and longevity. Fruits and berries are very nutritious, because they contain a lot of organic acids, essential oils, proteins, carbohydrates, tannins, pectin substances and fiber. Since ancient times, they have been valued for their healing properties. For those who want to lose weight, the fiber of fruits and berries is the best assistant.
