Healthy snacks for hunkering down

9/30/2020

Happy fall to everyone! It's a strange year, and a lot of our normal patterns have been completely blown to the wind.  One thing that we have heard patients tell me regularly is that they have been snacking differently: eating more snacks and less healthy ones, just by virtue of being home more often and wanting to eat comfort foods.  Many patients have reported weight gain, and some folks who have not had cavities in years are showing up with several!  
The pandemic is stressful for us all. Whether it barely effected our schedule or has landed us at home with the kids, we are all finding new ways to go through life.  We'd like to offer some tips for trying to mediate the little voice that tells you to eat candy.
First of all, if there are no healthy options in the house, you won't have much of a choice when you get hungry! Cut carrots, celery and bell peppers can be bought in the produce section of the grocery store, and last for about a week. They are fabulous dipped in hummus, or a spinach/artichoke dip.  Roasted nuts are another great option (yes, your dentist approves!) that last even longer, and because they have a good serving of protein, they will help keep you full longer.  Fresh fruit is another good choice- apples and mandarins keep for several weeks in the fridge, and are very portable as well. Lastly, small amounts of dark chocolate are filling and a great treat.
We're not saying you can't eat chips and cookies (we would never!), but next time you feel peckish in between meals, see if you can't get yourself to first eat an apple or some carrot sticks with hummus before you open that bag of chips. Small changes can lead to better habits and better health.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his whatsapp +2347012841542 or email emutemple@gmail.com website: Https://emutemple.wordpress.com/ Https://web.facebook.com/Emu-Temple-104891335203341

My mom was suffering from Type 2 diabetes and Lupus for over 17yrs. She tried many drugs but at last became dependent on saferoom and metformin due to the weakness and constant pains, She found that life was just sinking & there was no way of hope. Then she consulted Chief Dr Lucky for herbal treatments, Which she had been hearing so much about, After some couple of days taking this herbal medicine, Things started to change, The symptoms started to decrease and after 19 days of taking it, She became healthy and fully free from all the symptoms of Type 2 diabetes and Lupus. My mom's life is totally different now. That's why I decided to let everybody know about the wonderful healing of Chief Dr Lucky herbal, If you are having any health challenges kindly visit email chiefdrlucky@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2348132777335
