Delicious Our little ones enjoy candies, but… are they good for their health?

Consuming candies is always a pleasure, but especially for young children, it's important to do so in moderation and follow some advice to maintain a balanced diet and, very importantly, take care of dental health.

At Caramelos La Violeta, we have always kept this in mind, providing our customers with products that, despite the usual sugar content in candies and chocolates, meet high quality standards and, when consumed in moderation, pose no harm to health.

In fact, towards this goal, we offer products such as sugar-free violets, natural organic violets, and less traditional products that will delight those with a sweet tooth who are especially mindful of their sugar intake.

In any case, here are some general tips that are very useful for candy lovers and, of course, for our beloved violets:

● Moderation: Excessive sugar can contribute to health issues such as obesity and dental cavities. It’s good to enjoy candies in moderation.

● Choose healthier options: Opt for candies that contain healthier ingredients, such as those with no added sugars, naturally sweetened, or with organic ingredients.

● Read labels: Check candy labels to understand the ingredients and nutritional content. This will help you make more informed decisions about what you're consuming.

● Beware of hidden sugars: Some products contain hidden sugars under different names. These can include high fructose corn syrup, agave syrup, molasses, among others.

● Avoid sticky candies: Sticky candies can adhere to teeth and contribute to the development of cavities. Opt for options that don’t stick easily to teeth.

● Oral hygiene: After consuming candies, brush your teeth or rinse your mouth with water to help reduce the risk of cavities.

● Share or save for later: If you have a large bag of candies, consider sharing with friends or saving some for another time instead of consuming them all at once.

● Know your limits: If you’re following a specific diet or trying to reduce sugar intake, be aware of your limits and avoid overindulging.

● Variety: Explore candies with varied flavors to avoid boredom and the temptation to overeat a single type.

● Consult a health professional: If you have specific concerns about your diet or health, it’s advisable to talk to a health professional, such as a nutritionist or dentist, for personalized advice.

Remember, enjoying candies occasionally doesn’t have to be harmful, as long as you do so with moderation and care.
