Say "Yes" to an old "no-no"


If you're like a lot of people, you grew up thinking of snacking as a "no-no". Snacking was something you did even though you knew better. Well you can grab snack and let go of the guilt, because its ok to snack. Snackings a natural, so go for the "real thing". Fats, sugars and high-energy foods have a lot of necessary nutrients, especially for growing bodies. An example would be Sugars, they are popularly believed to be bad but they are the main fuel needed by all our cells and physical activity and brain function. Our brain is mostly fat and the only energy source it uses is glucose. I am not saying go ahead and eat all the sugar you want but the body is smart and doesnt care where they get the nutrients as long as it gets alittle of everything.
