Ending your day with a piece of chocolate, ice cream, or any type of sweets is a common habit for many people. According to nutrition experts cited by the website “NDTV,” this strong craving for sugar after meals may be more than just a habit; it could also be a mechanism to relieve stress in your body or even a sign of nutritional imbalance.

The report states that frequent intense cravings for sweets like ice cream after meals may indicate calcium deficiency or high stress levels during the day. The body often uses sugar as a quick fix, which might temporarily improve your mood and energy levels but ultimately causes more harm than good.

If your weight is average to normal and you consume some sweets daily, even a small piece, make sure to change this habit to having sweets only once a week, regardless of how small the piece is.

If you are used to having sweets once a week, change this habit to once every two weeks.

For people with average to normal weight who consume ice cream or other sweets once a month, they can continue this habit once a month, provided they exercise regularly and maintain other healthy lifestyle habits.

These gradual steps will help retrain your taste buds and stabilize your blood sugar levels.

The report advises people who are overweight to completely avoid sweets after meals and focus on lifestyle changes, including regular exercise, balanced meals, and adequate sleep.
