While preparing a healthy meal does take time & planning, it doesn’t always have to. But what do you do when you DON’T have time to plan out and prepare every meal?

Snacking can help active individuals by providing the energy and nutrients they need during the day. There are many ways to have quick meals ready to go by preparing ahead of time or carrying a nutrient-packed snack with you to enjoy on the go.

Here’s how:

Prepare meals in advance

Experiment with healthier substitutes

Eat snacks that are delicious and contain less than 1 gram of sugar

Keep a stocked and balanced pantry, with favorite foods along with nutritious ones

The post Thought for the Day… appeared first on Good News!.

Eat more vegetables and fruits – They will make you happy!

Believe it or not, eating vegetables and fruits will make you happy. They’re full of good vitamins that play a key role in your emotional health and overall well-being. Compare that to eating a burger – sure, a Big Mac will suffice, but a banana is much better in the long run. Nutritionally, bananas contain vitamin B6 which aids in regulating serotonin, also known as the “feel good hormone.”

Studies suggest that people with depression tend to reach for junk food, like potato chips, paired with cokes, and sugary cereals. Sugar is an addictive substance that stimulates the pleasure centers of the brain, but only for a short time. Eating a cup of blueberries, which is full of vitamins and antioxidants, will sustain your body with energy throughout the day.

At the end of the day, staying healthy is a matter of eating delicious fruits and vegetables, getting in your exercise, and doing what is good your body, mind, and soul.
