Sweets can also have benefits for us...


Yes, you read that right! There are health benefits about crinkles.
Here’s why…
Imagine for a moment that everything bad you’ve heard about crinkles is true. The confectioner sugar, imported cocoa and egg are bad for you. For all the negative effects we heard about eating crinkles, only a few has been mentioned about its benefits. Indulging in the rich delight every now and then, especially in desserts like crinkles you eat after every meal, can give you a sense of pleasure and happiness.

But what about the positive chemicals your body releases when you experience the joy of crinkles? Not to mention the mental health benefits caused by the enjoyment of a tasty, fresh, appetizing of your favourite variety.
Study after study tells us what’s bad for us. Don’t eat refined foods, don’t breathe, don’t use plastic, don’t ingest one million gallons of anything — not even water (there are prescription drugs in there you know). Depression can be because of your dieting. You can get depressed by depriving yourself simple things in life and the food you want to take. Professionals say that one of best solutions in combating depression is by doing the things that make you feel good. It’s a widespread rule, but obviously very true. If you desire to eat your favourite dessert right now, go ahead. Your body will thank you for it as it will release positive and happy chemicals.

But who has done a study on the BENEFITS of crinkles? Or the benefits of anything enjoyable for that matter.
The point is that joy has great power. What we believe has a direct effect on what becomes reality. 
I’d like to see a study of people who do everything as healthy as possible, with one slight catch. Take all the joy out of their lives. My guess is that the lack of joy will crush any benefits of organic anything. When you are dieting, you may consider crinkles as the devils. But indulging in something good every now and then isn’t all bad. Not only is it not totally bad, it is also great for you occasionally. So go ahead and dig in. Sink your teeth into the soft, succulent dark chocolate cake that you know you can’t refuse. You’d be happy to know that you gave in.

So, go ahead, eat that bit of crinkles. Enjoy it. It just might save your life.
And remember, you are not alone so feast your senses…
