Fruits and Nuts: Healthy Snacks

June 22, 2009


Did you know that you can snack on vitamins and minerals? Well, it definitely sounds better than eating wafers out of a synthetic packaging. We tell you how you can do it.

Fruits and nuts can be used to suffice your hunger craving anytime and anywhere. Keep nuts with you in your pocket or bag so that you can just eat a few and get back to your work. Nuts like almonds, cashews, resins are high in omega –fatty acids and vitamins. These vitamins and fatty acids work as incredible antioxidant and fight all signs of aging. They help in prevention of cardiovascular diseases, skin ailments and nervous system disorders. But do not consume those nuts which have been covered by artificial sweeteners like edible gum. They just add to the calorie content and do not provide additional nutrition. So, just keep it natural.

Many types of fruits are available through out the year. Seasonal fruits provide you with the best of the health benefits.  Experts suggest eating raw fruits is better than drinking their juice.  This is because eth pulp offers sufficient fibers to improve bowel movements. But if you need that much energy for the physical and mental work then go for smoothies and shakes. While making shakes, use only skimmed milk or low fat yogurt.

The natural sweetness of fruits should be enough to prepare these drinks. But if you like it really sweet then uses honey.  Fruits can be eaten in form of a complete meal as salads.

Here are a few ideas. Pamper your taste buds for making all berries salads, all melons salads, all mangoes salads etc. Take equal amounts of cherries, blackberries, raspberries and blue berries in a bowl. You may add muesli to make it heavy. The flavanoids present in the berries will kick start your day with the freshness. Also, how can you miss out the different colors that you get to see every morning?
