Snacking regularly helps prevent overeating at meal time |
(NC)—It happens to all of us. It is mid-morning and you suddenly feel that pang of hunger coming on. Your morning breakfast has worn off and lunch time feels still far, far away. Fear not, snacking is good for you, so long as you snack on the right foods. Registered dietitian and renowned speaker Sue Mah explains that healthy snacks not only give you the energy needed to stay alert and fuelled through your day, but also have another major benefit. “By choosing the right snacks every few hours, you can help prevent overeating at your meal times.” Sue recommends buying nutritious snacks such as fruits, veggies and whole grains whenever possible. Most importantly, she says, price is no longer a barrier to getting your fill of healthy, fresh foods. She cites Walmart Canada's recently launched commitment to offering healthier and more sustainable foods as a perfect example of how consumers can conveniently find fresh options without the premium grocery price-tag.
