Satisfy your Sweet Tooth
Satisfy your sweet tooth one bite at a time. It's common to crave sugar, and both men and women get sugar cravings for the same reasons. Sugar cravings stem from both physical and psychological causes. Did you know when you eat sugar your brain absorbs more of the amino acid tryptophan from your blood? Your brain uses tryptophan to manufacture serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for feelings of comfort and elevated mood. The effect on your mood is the same whether you eat fruit or refined sugar, however, consuming refined sugar can lead to wide swings in blood sugar levels, insulin resistance and nutritional deficiencies. We all know that treats made with refined sugar don't contain the same healthy nutrients found in fruits.
However, sometimes a sweet treat is just what the doctor ordered – no prescription necessary. In the north end of Palm Beach County are some of the tastiest and decadent shoppes of confection. Decide for yourself which is your favorite.
