6 Tips To Help You Have Healthy Snacks

Healthy eating doesn’t depend only on your food choices. Weight gain can occur due to many factors including how you snack, when you snack, and how much you snack. Today, we have a few helpful tips for you to snack smart. These tips will help you choose snacks to benefit your body and pack in nutrients without packing on pounds.

# Snack slowly

Savour your food without being distracted by the TV or your phone or Netflix. Chew slowly and make sure you actually taste your food.

# Choose the right time

Snack between 12pm and 5pm. This helps avoid binge eating at odd times and can help prevent unhealthy food choices. See just how essential eating at the right time is in this blog post.

# Avoid fried foods

This is almost a gospel but fried oil is an enemy to the body. Fruits and veggies with dips are as crunchy and as tasty.

# Avoid eating at your desk

This can cause you to miss keeping track of how much you eat. You might end up mindlessly consuming a whole lot of cookies while typing away at that spreadsheet.

# Choose healthier options

Try having cheese or fruit as an accompaniment to your coffee instead of donuts.

# Eat more fiber and dairy

For better gut health, eat more fiber and dairy foods. This is especially beneficial if you are sitting at a desk all day.
