Healthy Snacking for Improved Energy & Vitality
June 21, 2009
How would you define a healthy snack? It would be one with whole grain cereals that are low in fat and sugar or one that is high in nutritional value, one that is packed with vitamins and minerals. Common food choices would include low-fat, lightly salted crackers, fruits, or energy bars. Taking a healthy snack in-between meals can help you keep your energy up as it fuels you to last a busy day.
As you incorporate snacks in your day, it would be beneficial to plan even your snacks as you would your three square meals a day. This will help you prevent making unhealthy choices. Planning your snacks will help you avoid reaching for a calorie packed burger and fries at the nearest burger stand or reaching for the next candy bar you see. If you would include snacks in your meal planning, bringing along an extra serving of fruit in the office or in school will help you avoid making those unhealthy food choices.
Snacks will also help you eat smaller portions during meals as you can help stave off hunger especially if you include fiber-rich foods in your snacks.
Eating more often could mean less if you know how to control your portions, feeling less hungry at meal times can help you reduce the amount of food you take in during meals. So what are you waiting for? Make snacking a part of your day.
