Snack Time, But Make It Healthy! Here’s How
Snack Time, But Make It Healthy! Here’s How
Snacks are super quick, super tasty and ever so satisfying. Whether we like it or not, snacking tends to become a habit among most of us. However, more often than not, we find ourselves going a little overboard, unknowingly of course; one moment you’ve got a full bag of chips and the next, they’re all gone, the guilt kicks in, and you’re wearing a frown. It’s a habit we tend to pick up as kids. Most people aren’t aware that healthy snacks for kids exist either. But we don’t blame you, in fact snacking’s not a bad habit; if you’re snacking healthy! Good snacks to eat can be hard to find when you’re health conscious. Especially if you’re looking for healthy Indian snacks. Good thing we’ve got you covered with our guide that teaches you how to reduce cholesterol and healthy snack ideas.
1. Don't ignore your hunger pangs:
It’s simple, if there’s a rumble in your tummy, you’ve got to eat! Most people tune out their hunger because they’re busy and then end up with a headache and fatigue. This will only lead to eventual overeating and before you know it, you’ll be on a “see-food” diet. The difference here is eating smart. Try sticking to good cholesterol foods and healthy snacks high in omega 3.
2. Craving ≠ Hunger:
Often find yourself craving a snack even though you’ve just finished a meal? That isn’t hunger. Cravings are usually the bi-product of anxiety, fatigue and sometimes even boredom. Ask yourself whether you’re REALLY hungry before you give in.
3. Make sure you aren't distracted while you snack:
If you’re snacking while watching TV, playing video games etc. You’re snacking in auto-pilot mode. You’re bound to lose control over how much you’ve eaten. Take snack breaks for snacking, and snacking alone.
4. Can't break up with your favourite snack? Just eat less of it:
Yes, you can have your favourite snack! Just portion it out, instead of eating mindlessly. Smaller plates/ bowls make it a while lot easier too. Even if you’re eating healthy snacks, you need to control your portions. This is especially difficult for kids, since snacks for kids are addictive. As a parent, you’ll have to help them control their portions.
5. Set small-achievable goals for yourself:
With a teeny bit of effort, you can set realistic snacking goals every day. A “No cheese” day for instance or something as simple as refraining from a co-worker’s snacks, or ever swapping out a snack for some good cholesterol foods. The sheer sense of achievement after actually completing these goals is golden.
6. Drinking water instead of eating snacks will not help:
There’s a popular myth going around that says drinking water will calm your hunger pangs. Staying hydrated is great, but water cannot rid you of your hunger! Be sure to eat your scheduled healthy snacks daily. There are plenty of healthy snack options out there that you can try.
7. Try to make your snacks more interesting, so they'll keep you full for longer:
Swapping out your normal snacks for healthier options? Nothing like it! But most of us struggle with this since, well…let’s face it, “healthy snacks” aren’t all that appetising.
