How the Most Delicious For Slim, Chewing Gum

You are always tempted every see a small circle of colorful and sweet? No need to feel guilty if you like candy.

Research now suggests that likes to eat candy or chocolate have a smaller waist. They stay slim and have a lower body mass index than those who do not indulge in enjoying the food.

Additionally, fans of sweets and chocolate has 14 percent lower risk of high blood pressure and 15 percent decreased risk of metabolic syndrome. Ie collection of symptoms that make people exposed to the risk of heart disease and stroke.

However, research results do not suggest eating sweets helps you lose a few pounds. Conversely, it is possible lover of sweets do more exercise to make up extra calories due to fond of the sweet snack foods.

"The results showed these foods (like bubble and brown) are not associated with being overweight or disease when consumed in moderation," said researcher Carol O'Neil, from Louisiana State University Agricultural Center, as reported by MSNBC.

Journal Studies in February 2011 issue of Nutrition Research also said the study participants did not eat candy very much, only about 1.3 ounces per day on average.

Other researchers show surveys Diet was assessed in this study asked participants to remember what they ate the previous day, known as 24-hour memory. This allows the subjects forget everything they consume.

"Memory 24 hours just to explain what has been eaten, or what foods should ideally they eat," says Katherine Tallmadge, a registered dietitian and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.

Ultimately, the findings confirm what is already known to nutritionists, is eating a small amount of candy will not hurt you.

"This does not mean that the candy does not contribute to the problem," says Tallmadge. This study only explain that eating candy in the amount of not much does not cause problems.

O'Neil and his colleagues analyzed dietary survey of more than 15,000 U.S. adults over the age of 19, based on data between 1999 and 2004.

Only about 20 percent of respondents said they eat all kinds of candies, including chocolate candy, candies that contain sugar, and mint.

O'Neil emphasized the adults do not eat as much candy children. And because the participants do not eat candy when they were asked to remember, that does not mean they do not eat candy at all.

The average body mass index and waist circumference candy enthusiasts slightly lower than non-fans. For example, fans of the candy had an average BMI of 27.7 compared with 28.2 for non-fans.

"The important thing to remember is, the candy itself does not cause weight gain," said Heather Mangieri, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. "Taking more calories than are issued, that is what causes weight gain."

Tallmadge recommends that people do not get the extra calories by more than 10 percent of their daily calories by eating sweets.

He noted that in the U.S., the main contributor to obesity is not candy, but foods such as chips, baked goods and soda as well as large size meals in restaurants.

Consumption of junk foods not only contributes to obesity. It also contributes over malnutrition.

Previously, more and more evidence indicates that sugar-free gum can help us lose weight. The findings of the University of Rhode Island, which was released last October, said that chewing gum helps reduce calorie intake and increase energy use, aka burn calories.

This study also shows that until the middle of the day you may be able to save more than 60 calories just by chewing sugar free gum for 1 hour in the morning. According to Jackie Newgent, RD, nutritionist and author of Big Green Cookbook and The All-Natural Diabetes Cookbook, when we chew gum before and after eating, there was burning calories 5 percent higher than if we do not chew gum.

In addition, there are a variety of other evidence about the benefits of chewing gum. For example, the chewing gum before snacking can control our own lust snacking, reduce hunger, and reduce calorie intake from snacks was. The Biggest Loser contestants in America were encouraged to chew gum to reduce cravings.

Despite all this research to discuss the small difference in the number of calories produced, but diet experts assert that even small changes can affect the long term. Moreover, if we can reduce 60 calories a day, your weight in a year could be down about 3 kg. Not bad, right?

Another thing that is proved by the study is that the sugar-free gum helps relieve the stress of everyday sources, such as long waiting queue at the checkout. Chewing gum also helps you concentrate and stay alert. If the meal is still long but you feel hungry, chewing gum also help to overcome the desire to eat. When your regular habit of doing, you'll get used to avoid snacking.

No less important, sugar-free gum also helps prevent tooth decay and the breath.

After all, not always beneficial for gum health. The key is moderation, because:

* Chewing gum with a sweet taste usually contain 25 calories. Because it's better to choose sugar-free gum that contains only 5 calories.

* Do not eat too much. This can cause diarrhea, due to the use of sweeteners called sugar alcohols. Sorbitol and xylitol are two examples of sugar alcohols found in a variety of chewing gum without sugar (how much is still tolerable, depending on the ability of each person). However, sugar alcohols, especially xylitol-actually has a pretty good function, namely to prevent cavities.
