A List of Snacks

Snacking can cause an increase in weight, cause dental decay and increase the negative impact of too many calories consumed. But if you are going to consume smaller meals, eating a healthy snack in between can be a fantastic way to ward off consuming too many calories and a large meal at the end of the day. Dr. Lee recommends, “Stick to these six rules when snacking in order to keep your sugar levels under control.”

 

Good Snacks promote good health:

·      Milk-high calcium content promotes healthy teeth and bones

·      Cheese-high calcium content promotes healthy teeth, probiotic benefits

·      Tap Water-contains fluoride, a mineral that protects against tooth decay

·      Fresh fruits-high in water contents & fibers: apples, oranges, pears, melons, strawberries and others

·      Raw vegetables-high in water contents & fibers: broccoli, celery, carrots, spinach, cucumbers and others

·      Yogurt-high calcium content strengthens teeth; has healthy, protective bacteria
