Nutritionist Aastha Khungar said that the increasing
incidence of heart disease, obesity and other lifestyle-related issues calls
for continuous focus on a healthy diet in today’s fast paced life. One simple step
towards healthier eating is by incorporating healthy snacks like almonds in
your daily diet. A study published in the Journal of the American Heart
Association found that a daily snack of 42 grams of almonds, consumed as part
of an overall healthy diet, improved a number of risk factors for heart
disease. In addition to significantly improving Low Density Lipoprotein
(LDL/bad) cholesterol, snacking on almonds also reduced central adiposity
(belly fat) and waist circumference, all well-established heart disease risk factors.
Chef Debashis Biswas, prepared simple yet delicious
almond snack recipes in a matter of minutes, added that eating healthy does not
mean you have to give up eating snacks. Smart snacking is the key! A handful of
almonds, for instance, may have satiating properties that promote feelings of
fullness, which may keep hunger at bay between meals and steer you away
from less healthy options. They are an ideal ‘smart snack’.
Owing to our extremely busy lifestyle, exercise of any
kind may take a back-seat for many people. However, not taking care of one’s
health and fitness may lead to sedentary lifestyle related ailments. Hence, in
addition to eating a balanced diet, it is imperative to do some type of
exercise every day. You do not have to hit the gym, go for a run or walk but
even simple exercises at home done right every day, can go a long way. Regular
exercise plus healthy eating including snacking on fruits and nuts like
