On many days we have a hurried life pace. We go to work or to the university, we do household chores… in short, we have become used to a constantly-on-the-go lifestyle.
Faced with so much hustle, it is normal to have sweet cravings during our breaks. Although sugars have been practically banned by some specialists, it is impossible to eradicate them completely from our lives and there is no reason to do so.
If you have a healthy lifestyle, with a balanced diet that includes all food groups, then there is no problem in consuming sugars in moderation. However, it is true that there are certain times of the day that are more convenient for us to indulge in our favorite desserts.
According to nutrition specialist Kharem Marín, “the best time is just before training or performing any demanding physical activity, since sugar provides more energy, especially if you are a marathon runner”.
In addition, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., the body experiences a more intense metabolic activity and, therefore, consumes calories faster than at night.
All in all, it is important to clarify that, although the best time to consume sugars is before training, this does not mean that you cannot enjoy a sweet snack if you have complied with your eating plan. Remember that no food is good or bad, we should consume it in moderation.
