Description

Snacking used to have a bad image among health experts who say that this contributes to excessive calorie intake, which in turn causes unwanted weight gain. Some also point out that snacking can cause people to skip meals, resulting in a deficiency in essential nutrients.
But recent studies have shown that with the right food choices, snacking can be a healthy habit.
Healthy snacks can help keep hunger levels down in between meals. When you’re not too hungry before a meal, there’s less tendency to overeat. Also, snacking can provide you with the energy that you need to exercise or go through your day doing important tasks.
But take note that snacks are only an “add-on” and not a replacement for a meal. And that you should always make the right choices, and stay away from junk foods that will not do your health any good.
In this book, you’ll find healthy snacks that are so easy and hassle-free that you don’t have any excuse not to try them. These snacks are loaded with essential nutrients—vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that will help you stay in top shape.
