🌿 Healthy Snacking: Smart Choices to Keep You Full and Energized

 

Snacking often gets a bad reputation — many people associate it with mindless munching on chips, cookies, or fried foods. But when done right, snacking can be a powerful tool to keep your energy levels steady, fuel your body, and even support weight management. The key is to choose snacks that are nutrient-rich, satisfying, and balanced.

Why Snacking Matters

• Keeps Energy Stable: Eating every 3–4 hours helps avoid energy crashes.

• Prevents Overeating: Healthy snacks reduce the chances of overeating during main meals.

• Supports Metabolism: Balanced snacking helps regulate blood sugar and metabolism.

• Improves Focus: Nutritious snacks keep the brain alert and reduce fatigue.
