Munch on these healthy foods and watch your skin
and body bask in the glory of health
Healthy
snacking tips
Munch on apples, blueberries,
spinach, and peppers. They are rich in calcium, magnesium, and potassium. They
regulate blood pressure and keep certain cancers and heart disorders at bay.
Sink your teeth in dark
chocolate. It reduces blood pressure in obese people, according to studies.
Eating a small helping of flavanol-rich cocoa powder every day improves blood circulation
in the skin. You will notice your skin getting smoother and softer too.
Flavanols make your skin resistant to sun damage. Hey, this is no excuse to
miss out on your sunscreen!
Love carbs? Gorge on whole
grains. They are great energy boosters. Doctors say you need a minimum of 130
gm of carbs daily for sharp memory and concentration. Whole grains are rich in
fibers that keep your energy levels constant and avoid high and low energy
episodes. Fed up of whole wheat? Try oatmeals, multi-grain breads, grains
cookies, and a whole lot of other delightful munches that your taste buds would
love.
Use low-fat cottage cheese
instead of sour cream for dips. Cheese is rich in protein. Skimmed milk helps
to shed belly fat. Do you know just 1000 milligrams of calcium daily helps in
bone mass maintenance during weight loss?
Nuts are powerhouses of
antioxidants. If you wish glowing skin and hair, plus healthy weight, nibble on
nuts. According to a study, people who ate almonds for 6 months lost up to 18
percent of their body fat and slimmed their waists. Scientists believe that
protein and fiber content of almonds keeps hunger pangs at bay. Roast nuts for
a crunchy delight. Skip the salt.
