Healthy Snacks Positive Effects On Kids

Author: Alec Moreland

Why are healthy snacks important? Let's be honest, they don't taste as good. Bottom line, nothing will taste as good at that exact moment as a chocolate bar, ice cream, cinnamon roll, cheese Danish...get the idea? But that doesn't obviously mean that's what kids and people in general, should eat. On the contrary, healthy snacks should be encouraged for the multiple positive effects they'll have.

1. Encourage Discipline

Don't laugh. Eating healthy, or healthier is all about discipline. You'd rather have ice cream, but instead opt for pretzels. You'd rather have a chocolate bar, but instead opt for chex mix. It's not easy, but can be done. If done once, it develops discipline, and gets easier in the future. This discipline will make other things, like waking up in the morning, completing school tasks, homework, studying, etc easier as well.

2. Establish a Long Term View

Similar to the above item, Eating healthy snacks does establish a long term view of the situation in that the effect of choosing a healthy snack over candy is not always immediately apparent. The positive effects may take some time to manifest.

3. Reduced Problems With Overweight and Obesity

Finding Healthy Solutions for your snacking will definitely promote weight management. A good rule of thumb is that the snacks be made up of less than 35% of calories from fat, less than 35% of calories from sugar, less than 10% of calories from saturated fat, and the item itself be less than 250 calories.

4. Better Brain Function

Putting less sugar and fat into one's body, and doing more to meet basic nutrition needs will certainly allow one's brain to function at its highest capacity.

5. Potentially Protecting Against Type 2 Diabetes

While the data isn't conclusive in this area, many believe that lowering sugar content and starch content in one's diet may prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes for those who are predisposed to it. Certainly we understand that when someone is diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, they are immediately instructed to reduce sugar intake.

So the support for the idea that kids should eat healthy snacks is pretty overwhelming, or it would seem so. That said, the opposing view is represented by something pretty overwhelming on its side....the American Advertising Industry! Whether through TV, Radio, the internet, or countless other advertising mechanisms, unhealthy snacks are presented in enticing fashion by the some of the smartest advertising minds in the world. So what to do? Just keep doing what you can to encourage proper diet, present the facts and hope people make the right choice.

Planning for a Snack Attack!

Author: Cityslim.com
[Adapted from http://www.cityslim.com]

You know it happens to you. It's only been a half hour since lunch and its going to be another late night at the office. Soon enough, your stomach starts rumbling, sending out reverberations in Morse code. The signal reaches your brain and can only be translated into two words, "Feed me!"

What can you do? The vending machine in the lobby is a diet-disaster waiting to happen. The drug store across the street has those chocolate bars you could always go for and you know there's always a stash of some sugary confections stored beneath your co-worker's desk. You try to fight it, but your stomach's whining is actually impairing your ability to work. Reasoning to yourself, you realize you do always have to be on your A-game at the office. There's only one thing to do at this point, "Indulge the Snack Attack!"

But before you go running for the calorie-crammed candy, let me briefly impart to you the biological wisdom of what goes on in your body pre- and post-prandially (ie, before and after your lunch break). Two hormones are constantly at battle in your body: leptin (the hormone of satisfaction) and ghrelin (the hormone of hunger). Your stomach secretes ghrelin in pulses every half hour, transmitting that dreaded phrase to your brain: "Feed me!" When you are really hungry or dieting, those messages come fast-every twenty minutes or so-and they are also amplified.[i] After long periods, it is simply impossible to ignore these strong biological signals; they subside only when your stomach fills with food. In addition, many people experience a hypoglycemic period, or low-blood sugar, around 2 hours after their meal (or post-priandially). Symptoms include dizziness, headache, fatigue, weakness, and of course, hunger!


So instead of fighting your body's signals, go ahead and snack! The key to breaking this vicious cycle of erratic blood-sugar levels and battling hormonal signals is to satisfy your stomach with the right foods. Snacks with soluble fiber and high protein content will help keep you feeling full.

The following are my top 5 recommendations for the perfect snack foods. The key to eating healthy is pre-packing your snacks! Keep it natural, while avoiding processed snacks, such as protein bars. Even though these are high in fiber and protein, they are also loaded with sugar! (Some protein bars are 50% sugar; 35 g in one 78 g bar.)

1. TRAIL MIX

½ ounce raw nuts (walnuts, pistachios,and/or almonds)

1 cup of unsweetened dried cranberries (Craisins), Other berries, apricots, or raisins

2. YOGURT & FRUIT

Choose low-fat probiotic (live culture) yogurt

½ cup of canned, unsweetened peaches or mandarin oranges and some raisins

Handful of granola

3. GRAINS & BERRIES

½ cup Kashi Go-Lean Crunch Cereal (4.5 g protein, 4 g fiber, 7 whole grains, 1.5 g fat)

¼ cup almonds or walnuts

¼ cup dried berries, apricots, or raisins

4. MEDITERRANEAN MIX

1 cup of cut-up sautéed vegetables, warmed in microwaves

Stuff into small whole wheat pita

Add fat-free hummus

5. VEGGIES

Cup of vegetables (mainly carrots and celery, some peppers)

Dip into low-fat cottage cheese

Add spices, such as dill, chives, ginger, red pepper flakes, or garlic powder to the cottage cheese for flavor

In between meals and your snack, sip on a cup of peppermint tea. The warm fluid will help fill your stomach, while peppermint is a natural appetite-suppressant that also helps digestion.


A word of caution: don't over-eat! "Contrary to popular belief, not all ingested protein becomes muscle, and not all the fat in your food gets stored on your hips. Everything has the potential to turn into fat if it's not used by your body for energy at the exact time it is absorbed through your intestines.[i]"


Follow the above recommendations, alternating different snacks each day. Feel free to substitute any fruit, vegetable or nut with your favorite variety. Oh, and Happy Monday!
