Perhaps, every person at least once tried candy in his life. Sweets called "Levushka" are quite tasty and attractive, but what secrets do they keep in their composition and do they bring benefits to the human body?
Structure
The composition of Levushka candies includes the following elements:
- sugar;
- condensed milk;
- ground cocoa;
- pectin (as a gelling agent);
- cocoa butter;
- vegetable fat;
- salt;
- carrageenan;
- natural flavors;
- dyes.
It is also worth noting the ratio of BZHU (proteins, fats and carbohydrates) in the product. For 100 grams of the product, 1 gram of protein, 7.4 grams of fat and 74.4 grams of carbohydrates is necessary. The calorie content of 100 grams of sweets is 371 calories.
Beneficial features
Due to the presence of a large number of chemical elements in the composition of Levushka candies, much cannot be said about their beneficial properties. Despite this, they are able to satisfy hunger in a short period of time and provide the body with energy.
In addition, carbohydrates, which are quite large in the product, contribute to the normalization of the circulatory system, the removal of harmful infections and the stopping of inflammatory processes.
Also, the benefits of Levushka candies largely depend on what time and in what quantity to use them. The norm of sweets per day should not exceed 50 grams. The best time to eat is after dinner. In the morning and evening, eating chocolate products is not recommended.
Harm to the body
Many people know about the dangers of sweets for the body. Sweets "Slavs" are no exception. The harm of sweets is as follows:
- Sweets can do great harm to your teeth. If we take into account the fact that Levushka candies are half chewed (stuck in the teeth), then this issue should be approached as seriously as possible.
- Sweets can cause a child’s addiction, after which it will be difficult to wean their child from them.
Many may not believe in the existence of candy addiction. Despite this, people try after each candy to eat more and more until satiety comes. The consequences of this dependence can be the appearance of gastritis or, worse, ulcers.
Also, if you consume sweets in large quantities and too often, there is a risk of obesity. As you can see above, Levushka candies are a high-calorie product. Having accustomed their child to this kind of sweets, parents may not notice how their son or daughter begins to grow in weight and there will be health problems.
