Nutritionists believe that the evening snack is far more important than we realise. What we eat or don’t eat between 4 to 6 pm will affect digestion. Your sleep, and even the next day. Well timed, healthy snacks can prevent overeating at dinner and also improve your general health and wellbeing.
When thinking about your healthy snack, choose foods that are easily digestible and not high in calories. Poha, upma or just a simple roti are all healthy choices that nutritionists recommend. These types of foods will be filling because they are high in fibre but also keep your dinner light.
You should avoid fried snacks, and prepackaged snacks/packaged foods such as chips or cookies. Fried snacks add unhealthy fats, and prepackaged snacks will ruin your appetite for dinner.
When dinner is effected, it leads to a chain reaction. You feel hungry again at midnight, don’t sleep well, and feel tired the next day. If you can successfully smart snack, you will feel full, reduce bloating, and manage your weight.
Eating home cooked foods is very strongly supported by nutritionist. You have control over what ingredients you put into your food, the style of cooking, and in the end it will save you money!. Nutritionists say: “Anything that you have made at home is fine. Just stay away from packaged foods and snacks at work.”
If you can’t cook you can eat yoghurt, roasted chana, or fruit instead. This will help you not to go into vending machines, and contribute to your overall health on a long term basis.
Sitting for too long is as detrimental as smoking; it adversely affects your health without notice. Move, every 30 minutes, for three to four minutes. Stretch your arms, go to the washroom, walk a longer route to your desk, or stretch, when making tea or coffee. Those little movements produce blood flow, and reduce stiffness from sitting too long.
As the health experts all suggest, small changes significantly outweigh rapid changes. Eating well, choosing homemade foods and moving your body regularly all have significant impacts.
The gist of the experts is always the same: just go small, stay consistent, and you will build habits for a healthier future. Eating well, the right foods and moving your body, is something your body needs, regardless of whether you are desk-capping it or not. Smart snacking and little breaks for some activity, can help build a healthier routine.
