Feel guilty when your kids eat Halloween candy? A study from Harvard’s School of Public Health revealed that people who eat candy outlive those who don’t when consumed in moderation and there are no other health risks at hand.
Gum and the act of chewing can improve your mood, reduce stress, increase mental focus, and even block pain. It increases serotonin levels too.
Perhaps you’ve heard about the health benefits of chocolate. While the jury is still out, I’m guessing these folks were just 60% happier!
We aren’t promoting candy consumption, just sharing the other side so guilt-ridden moms can shed the burden for allowing a little sweetness. Just remember moderation & to brush your teeth!
