Snacking Is AHA-OK!
Chances are you grew up thinking of snacking as a "no-no," something you did even though you knew better. Images of children sneaking a treat from Mom's cookie jar come to mind. If you haven't curbed the habit, you are not alone.
You'll be relieved to know that it's OK to snack!
Between-meal snacks are especially important for growing youngsters, active teens and pregnant and nursing mothers. The key is choosing foods that are not just pleasure-packed, but loaded with important nutrients as well. The next time you get the munchies, first consider the merits of the food.
