Believe it or not, snacking is good for you as long as you're eating the right kind of snacks. Try eating a handful of almonds everyday they'll satisfy your hunger and give you a powerful punch of important nutrients such as vitamin E, magnesium, fibre and protein. · Prioritize your food choices. Try putting vegetables first on your plate before the higher calorie flour and starch-based foods. If you choose to eat higher carbohydrate foods, try having a handful of almonds afterwards. Eating almonds after a carbohydraterich meal may play a role in stabilizing blood sugars which is important in helping to manage your weight and health. · Give your immune system a boost. Spring is a time for rebirth. Activities start up, schedules get hectic and we don't always have time to make nutritious food choices. Research shows almonds are a potent antioxidant and immune booster, so look for ways to incorporate nutritious foods into your routine. For example add a handful of slivered almonds to your cereal or yogurt in the morning. · Get Active. Physical activity helps give your metabolism a "boost". Take the family for a walk in the park, sign the kids up in seasonal activities and get out there and enjoy the warmer weather.
