Do you crave sweets or dessert after a sumptuous lunch? Nutrition experts say that these sweet cravings are triggered when your body demands some fuel to catch up on calories in case you haven't consumed enough protein or fat. Desserts and ice creams are, in fact, generously served at dinner parties.
However, ayurveda suggests that sweet should be consumed after breakfast because morning is the time when we need lots of energy to take on an entire day with enthusiasm. A protein-and-fibre-rich breakfast fulfils the nutritional requirements, and a sweet is just a perfect addition to it.
The sweet consumed in the morning helps regulate blood sugar level and provide energy. It is said that the blood sugar level plays a significant role in determining mood swings and emotions. In ayurveda, natural sugar contained in fruits is preferred to refined sugar or artificial sweeteners.
