3 Health Benefits of Salted Caramel Brownie Truffles

#1: May Assist Weight Loss

When you’re trying to shed a few extra pounds, finding alternative dessert options is a must.

Going cold turkey may work for a week or two, but if you tell yourself you’ll never eat salted caramel brownies again you’re setting yourself up for disaster. Not because you’re weak, but because you’re human.

These salted caramel brownie truffles serve as a terrific weight loss dessert.

They’re not only low in sugar, but they also have some specific ingredients that may boost your weight loss efforts.

MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) have been shown to promote a feeling of satisfaction and ultimately reduce food intake.

In one study, a group of overweight men consumed either long-chain fatty acids or MCTs at breakfast, with the goal of assessing how much they consumed later in the day.

The results showed that when the men consumed MCTs, they ate less at lunch, the assumption being that MCTs decreased appetite[*].

MCTs may also help you burn off stubborn fat around your midsection — fat that’s correlated with more serious issues like metabolic syndrome. In one study, a group of men consuming MCTs experienced increased energy expenditure, along with decreased abdominal fat[*].

#2: Rich In Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, meaning it balances oxidative stress that happens as part of your everyday life.

Oxidative stress is an unavoidable part of being alive, and it’s not always a bad thing. In fact, even exercise can cause oxidative stress in your body[*].

Almonds are a fantastic source of vitamin E, and this recipe not only contains almond flour — but also almond butter from the Perfect Keto Salted Caramel Bar[*].

Along with its antioxidant activity, vitamin E has also been shown to improve eye health, support brain function, and may even protect your heart from cardiovascular disease[*][*][*].

One study even found that people with higher vitamin E intake had a 20% lower risk of age-related macular degeneration, an eye disease that causes vision loss[*].

#3: Supports Joint Health

Perfect Keto Salted Caramel Bars contain grass-fed collagen, a nutrient that’s been studied for its potential role in joint health.

Collagen is a structural protein that makes up your skin, hair, joints, and other connective tissue.

Healthy connective tissue is essential for the structural functioning of your body, and dysfunction of connective tissue can result in a host of issues, including joint pain[*].

One study looked at the potential role of collagen supplementation on osteoarthritis patients. For 90 days, patients were given either collagen supplements, or glucosamine and chondroitin.

The results showed that patients taking collagen supplements showed significant enhancement in daily activities, suggesting a better quality of life[*].

Another clinical trial was done on collagen supplementation and joint pain, this one focusing on athletes.

Athletes are considered a high-risk group for joint deterioration due to increased wear and tear, so the study aimed to see if there was a role for collagen in the preservation of joint health.

Two groups were given either placebo or collagen, and after 24-weeks the collagen group showed significant improvement in joint pain[*].

There won’t be enough collagen in one serving of salted caramel brownie bites to heal joint pain, but every bite of collagen counts.
