Not every day, but do eat sweets occasionally - the new formula to keep the heart healthy!

On hearing the name of sweet, people often consider it harmful to health. Fears like weight gain, diabetes or affecting heart health keep us away from sweets. But did you know that sometimes eating sweets can make your heart happy and keep you healthy?

Sweet food can be harmful to our health, but a recent study has made shocking revelations. This study suggests that if you eat the right kind of sweet in moderation, it can be beneficial for your heart health.

A report published in Frontiers in Public Health on December 8 suggested that the type of effect of sugar on heart health depends on the form you are taking. For example, natural options like sweets, chocolate and honey can prove to be better for the heart than sugary drinks.

The study analyzed the food and lifestyle data of about 70,000 people. Researchers found that people who get 7.5% of their calories from sweet things have the best heart health. The special thing is that the health of people who ate a small amount of sweets was found to be better than those who did not eat sugar at all.

Why is sweet so important for the heart?

According to the researchers, the solid sugar present in sweets is slowly digested by the body. This does not increase the level of sugar suddenly, which does not put much pressure on the heart. On the contrary, the sugar present in sugary drinks is digested quickly, which can increase heart problems. There is also a tradition called Fika prevalent in Sweden, in which people socialize with coffee and sweets. These types of social activities help in improving the health of the heart.

What's the right amount of sugar?

According to experts, consuming 25-37.5 grams of sugar daily is safe for the heart. This amount is 5-7.5% of a 2000-calorie diet. But keep in mind, do not consume 71 grams of sugar daily like Americans.
