Ideally, snacking between meals should be avoided to stay in shape. But if you can’t resist a little snack, choose homemade over industrial products. Because, although industrial cakes are very practical, their composition often leaves something to be desired.
In fact, the industrial cakes often contain excessive amounts of sugar, saturated fat and trans fat. These ingredients can be harmful to health, in particular by promotingobesity and the Type 2 diabetes. Additionally, industrial cakes can be addictive. According to a new study published in the British Medical Journalultra-processed foods could even create an addiction comparable to alcohol, tobacco or cannabis!
Fortunately, Laura Tuveri, a dietician and nutritionist, published via her Instagram account a chocolate mug cake recipe to indulge yourself without feeling guilty.
