Easter Eggs: This What Will Happen To You When You Eat Chocolate Easter Egg

This Easter, children all around the world will eat their way through more than millions of chocolate easter eggs. While kids are getting excited to get their hands on the yummy treat, health experts, on the other hand, are getting concerned over the children's health.

Dr. Eva Orsmond said to Irish Examiner, a single chocolate easter egg has about 550 calories and it contains up to 55 grams of sugar. Apparently, it is more than four times higher than the recommended daily allowance for a kid.

That's not all! Because of its great dose of sugar, you will normally feel great joy when you eat easter eggs. However, after eating the sumptuous easter egg, a slump will eventually follow -- leaving you, moody, anxious and depressed.

Moreover, chocolate easter eggs contain a lot of caffeine. A substance that can cause anxiety, restlessness, nausea and sleep problems. In addition, caffeine is bowel stimulant, which can worsen symptoms of irritable bowel disease, according to Livestrong.

More so, chocolate can cause heartburn and acid reflux because of its acidity. Another concern of eating chocolate easter eggs is the dental health problems like gum diseases and cavities.

Nevertheless, Dr. Orsmond, who runs weight-management clinics in Dublin said although the health risks of eating chocolate are enormous, parents can still give their kids easter eggs.

They just need to check the sugar content on the labels. Dr. Orsmond, however, admitted that "Easter isn't all about rule." Hence, parents should just need to keep in mind the right balance while they are giving their kids easter eggs.
