Hello everyone! In this blog is about healthy snacks…
Chocolate :
This may seem like a strange snack choice, but chocolate contains high amounts of iron and zinc. These two elements are great for growing because they aid in helping the plant to produce seeds. Another benefit includes that they offer antioxidant protection and help prevent oxidation damage to cells.
Celery:
If you have been craving some celery lately, then you should know that it is packed full of vitamin K, folate, fiber, and potassium. Celery also is great for your heart because it helps lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce blood pressure. Vitamin K is vital for bone density and proper clotting of blood. If you want to make sure your body gets plenty of folate and potassium, try eating celery spears dipped in salsa. This combination makes a delicious meal that’s low in calories.
Peanuts:
Have you ever noticed how nuts keep popping up in our food? Peanuts are rich in protein and healthy fats. They are also rich in magnesium and manganese. Both of these elements play a role in helping the human body create red blood cells. Protein helps build muscles and is good for the brain as well. Peanuts are also loaded with vitamin E, which helps protect the skin and eyes.
Bananas:
If you haven't already tried bananas, then you should! Bananas are a great source of potassium, manganese, and magnesium. These three elements are great for building strong bones and muscle mass. When you eat bananas, you get a small amount of copper and selenium in addition to potassium. Copper is necessary for the growth of hair and nails, while selenium aids in fighting off illness.
Carrots:
When carrots first hit market, people thought they were just a pretty orange root vegetable. However, now we recognize them as a superfood that provides us with high amounts of beta-carotene, vitamins A, C, D, and K, and carotenoids. Beta-carotene is what gives carrots their bright color. Carrots are also known for being high in fiber and antioxidants. When you slice them up and add them to salads, you will notice the difference in flavor.
Oatmeal:
Oatmeal is a staple breakfast food in my family. I love having oatmeal because it's naturally sweet and flavorful. Oats are full of antioxidants called avenanthramides, which can fight free radicals and boost anti-inflammatory agents. They also are a great source of soluble and insoluble dietary fibers, which are excellent at lowering cholesterol levels.
Nuts:
Nuts are a great snack option and they are loaded with high-quality protein and fiber. You can eat them raw, roasted, salted, or fresh out of their shells. Nuts are good for digestion and provide us with much-needed fat.
Seeds/Flax seeds:
Seeds are a healthy snack option. Flax seeds have been shown in studies to help lower cholesterol levels and reduce risk factors for heart disease. Add them to smoothies, salads, omelets, breads, muffins, burgers, pizza crust, and dips.
