Why do people like to eat sweet after meals?

Generally Sugar fits into a category called Neurotoxins. These are substances such as refined sugar, salt etc. that are added to food and are specifically designed to make us addicted to it.. It does this by sending messages to the brain that this food is good.  So we get a good feeling throughout our bodies just the same is if we smoked, drank alcohol, have sex, or did drugs. It is just another drug that we can become addicted to. Our brain then connects sugar to feeling good. 

          It's not a good idea to have sweets after meal though we tend to feel like to have something sweet after meal because of Serotonin hormone secretion. Its secretion amount depends on genes and that's what decides the cravings for sweets after meal.

So it's better to take PALM JAGGERY after meal or with the meal.
And after meal a cup of Warm water is recommended for better digestion.

Serotonin is a monoamine neurotransmitter. Biochemically derived from tryptophan, serotonin is primarily found in thegastrointestinal (GI) tract, platelets, and in the central nervous system (CNS) of animals including humans. It is a well-known contributor to feelings of well-being; it is also known to contribute to happiness. Approximately 90% of the human body's total serotonin is located in the enterochromaffin cells in the gut, where it is used to regulate intestinal movements.
