Healthy Snacks Ideas
Experts have long stressed the importance of eating for our beauty as well and not just for the body and our silhouette. Just like smoking or too much chocolate can ruin the complexion and damage the teeth, certain foods encourage the healthy growth of nails and hair, or focus on ridding the face of spots and even wrinkles. Three of them also make great snacks, as Glamour magazine points out.
If we happen to be at work, with hardly enough time for a proper mini-break for a snack, there is still hope for us to eat something that is good for our body and our health. That is to say, don’t reach for the bar of chocolate or bag of chips yet, because there are other options as well. Kiwifruit is perfect in this sense, Glamour explains, citing the words of Lisa Drayer, M.A., R.D., an expert beautritionist and author of “The Beauty Diet,” speaking to Woman’s Day.
Blueberries and tomatoes also make for wonderful snacks that also take care of your appearance. Blueberries are like “antioxidant powerhouses” that “help rid your body of toxins, says Drayer. Sprinkle some in your yogurt or over a bowl of cereal,” the magazine urges. Moreover, “The lycopene in tomatoes wards off many diseases and may also help protect your skin from sunburns,” and you can serve them with low-fat cheese or plain, if you like them this much.

top list of major preventable cause of cancer
More often we hear another cancer-fighting food or lifestyle change, so it would good to bring some of this information together in one place to show you there is much you can do to prevent cancer. Focusing on prevention now, we may never have to hear that dreaded phrase, “You have cancer.” Here are some proven cancer-fighting actions, with tobacco at the top of the list as the major preventable cause of cancer:
- Don’t smoke or use other tobacco products – smoking cigarettes, cigars, or a pipe is the major cause of lung cancer. Tobacco in the form of snuff causes nasal cancer and chewing tobacco increases the risk of mouth, tongue, and throat cancer.
- Avoid secondhand smoke – this is now easier with bans on smoking in many public places.
- Eat lots of fruits and vegetables – whole grain and fibrous foods probably protect against some types of cancer. Consuming too much saturated fat (found mostly in animal products) may increase the risk of breast cancer.
- Control your weight – obesity is associated with an increased risk for most types of cancer.
- Cook smart – don’t char meat when grilling and avoid frying or cooking foods at high heat. Read more
