Go Nuts With Vitamins, Minerals and Magnesium For a Holiday Snack
Friday, December 18th, 2009
At this time of year with gatherings and celebrations, it is easy to veer off the nutrition path and enjoy more high-fat, low vitamin foods.
One of the best ways to stave off hunger that often leads to gorging on unhealthy party food, is to enjoy a healthy snack before the party. You’ll be less inclined to sample everything on the buffet table when you’re satisfied by some fresh, raw or roasted nuts.
This article from Us magazine suggests having a handful of walnuts, almonds, pecans or cashews to satisfy your hunger. You’ll also get a fabulous variety of nutrients including magnesium, potassium, calcium and zinc.
Lack of sleep, late nights and additional commitments during the holidays means changes to our diet and possible deficiencies in those important vitamins and minerals. Keep a stash of nuts and some dried fruits to enjoy to keep you on your toes.
