A few sweets eaten once in a while can lower stress and improve well-being. However, it should be remembered that these types of sweets, although caloric, are deprived of valuable nutrients and should in no case replace balanced meals. In addition, sugar contained in the hard candies sticks to your teeth and contributes to the development of caries. Instead of buying sweets, full of artificial colors and flavors, it's better to have a self-made dessert from natural ingredients.
