Many studies have been done to show that cakes are not good for our bodies. The one misconception that these studies have had about cakes is that just because they are sweet they automatically become a health hazard. Sweet things are often passed as not good for our bodies.
[post_ads]The big question thus emerges; are there any health benefits of eating cakes? We at Crumble Fresh Cakes have done our research and we can proudly tell you that you can enjoy your cakes without the fear of exposing your body to health problems. Cakes are made by mixing a lot of ingredients which contain different nutrients suitable to our bodies. This makes them nutritious and important to our bodies.
Below are some of the health benefits of eating cakes.
Anti-oxidation and blood flow
Cakes baked using the dark chocolate are great antioxidants. Oxidation is a process that takes place in the body and could lead to organ damage with time. The dark chocolate in cakes contains nutrients known as Flavanols and catechins that resist the damage caused by the oxidation process. The antioxidants thus protect your organs from damage. Chocolate containing cakes also help in improving the blood flow in your body. The nutrient flavanol helps in stimulating the production of Nitric Oxide which leads to arteries relaxation. Arteries that are relaxed contribute to improved blood flow and also reduce blood pressure.
The carrot cake is also another source of antioxidants to the body.
Energy
Carbohydrates are energy giving foods. The sugar and flour contained in cakes are a source of carbohydrates. They give our bodies the energy they require to function. Sugar is also a great carbohydrate in providing energy to the brain, muscles and the nervous system. This is why glucose is given to athletes. Fats also contained in cakes are a good source of energy.
Improved digestion
Cakes that contain fruits like apples, berries and pineapples are a good source of fiber. High-fiber diets are known to help our bodies in better digestion. Carrots also contain fiber hence carrot cakes are good for the body too. Lack of fiber in the body contributes to constipation which is uncomfortable and painful. Regular intake of cakes containing the above named fruits and carrots will help increase the fiber level in your body thus improved digestion. In addition, fiber is also said to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and hypertension.

Body Building and strengthfruit cake recipe
Cakes containing eggs and milk are a good source of proteins. Proteins are body-building foods thus the intake of these cakes provide the body with nutrients required for strong muscles and bones. Milk also contains calcium which is responsible for strong teeth. Furthermore, cakes baked with fruits provide vitamins to the body responsible for strengthening the immune system and fighting diseases.
These are some of the health benefits that we get from the intake of cakes. It should however be noted that cakes are not to be taken on a daily basis since they are not a whole package of a balanced diet. They should be taken once in a while.
Remember to always take a balanced diet for healthy living.
