Dietitian Approved Activity: Adults, Snacking
As a child, was after school snack a highlight of your day? Thinking back, you were also fed a morning snack?
And then you got older and somehow the importance of snacking just **disappeared?** And the act of nourishing between meals was vilified by diet culture or the humans around you?
Or you just Didn’t. Have. Time.
So when you started yawning between meals, you grabbed a coffee?
But not food?
Reminder that full-grown humans also need fuel on the regular. Not because we are growing any longer, but because our bodies are working.
All. Day. Long.
You are allowed to snack. It’s awesome for digestion & blood sugar regulation & prevention of hangry.
Challenge for the weekend: test out the guideline of threes, snack edition. When you feel tired during the day, you’re allowed to have your coffee, but grab a snack, too.
I’ll check in at the end of the weekend to ask for noted improvements in mood, concentration, bowel health, energy, and overall life experience.
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SNACK.
If you’re up for it, what was your after school favorite snack?
Blue gushers, anyone?🔹
Super pretzels? 🥨
