Healthy Snacks

Now days, snacks have become very common because of our busy schedules. Between activities, work, homework, and chores, we tend to munch on anything than we can get our hands on, which leads to a bad diet and an unhealthy lifestyle if you don’t choose your snacks wisely.
I recommend that you don’t stuff your bag with change so you can buy junk food from vending machines and rather, fill that bag up with nutritious and healthy snacks.
A few examples of good snacks you can pack:
• Apple: Apples are both nutritious and tasty. 180g of apple is approximately 96 calories.

• Bananas: Full of natural sugar and a great energy booster. 118g is approximately 105 calories.

• Baby Carrots: very convenient and stores sell them pre-packaged and washed. 170g of baby carrots is 60 calories.

• Dried peas: They come in various seasonings and taste great. 25g provides you with about 72 calories.

• Raw Mixed Nuts: Some people prefer this snack because it is filling for short periods of time so it is convenient for pre-dinner snacking. 30g are about 178 calories.

Snack healthy and lead a healthy lifestyle.

The Benifits of Running

Running is one of the most common means of exercise. Running is associated with numerous benefits that people tend to notice only after a first-class running session.
Here are only a few benefits of running:
• Improved cardiovascular health: Running helps maintain the elasticity of the arteries as well as sustaining a healthy and vibrant heart. In doing so, risks of heart disease and stroke are greatly decreased. Men are 80% more prone to heart disease than women. This also improves the efficiency at which your body functions.
• Slowing down the aging process: Running regularly reduces bone and muscle loss. Your bone matrix becomes denser due to the demanding physical strain you place on your body, thus preventing diseases such as osteoporosis.
• Many psychological benefits: A happier and less stressed lifestyle due to the neurotransmitters called endorphins that are naturally released by your body during your running sessions.
It is important that you maintain a healthy lifestyle, and to achieve this, you must put in an effort which you will be greatly rewarded for throughout your life.
