The ignored evening snacks:
The most unrated meal of the day! And for several reasons one of the very important meal of the day.
Prevents Overeating
A snack helps keep you from getting excessively hungry and then overeating at your following meal. So next time you start to feel hungry a couple hours before dinner, don't try to wait until the meal. Instead, eat a small healthy snack to tide you over.
Keeps Blood Sugar Levels Steady
Healthy snacking helps keep your blood sugar levels even, particularly if you eat a steady amount of carbs at each meal or snack. This is not just helpful for diabetics, but also for non diabetics, since large spikes and dips in blood sugar levels may make insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease and high blood pressure more likely over time.
Provides Nutrients
As long as you choose nutritive snacks, snacking will also help you meet your nutrient needs for the day. Your snacks should consist of nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy and protein food like nuts, beans and legumes.
Now, you see how significant it is to have that healthy evening snack!
