Healthy Snacks; The next big thing for Nigerians

February 19, 2022 0
We’ve all heard Nigerians say, “Who nor like better thing?” considering the average Nigerian’s sweet tooth (something must kill a man) whether it’s through the unhealthy consumption of drinks, fatty foods, chocolates, and so on. However, you should be aware that Nigerians are becoming more aware of the dangers associated with these unhealthy snacks, which can lead to diabetes, weight gain, and other health problems. Nutritious snacks are sweet, scrumptious, and mouth-watering, and they’re also incredibly healthy for kids, contrary to popular belief that the word “healthy” conjures up images of bitter or sour flavors. If you’re worried that your kids won’t like the nutritious snacks we’ll recommend at the end of this post, don’t panic; they’re suitable for both children and adults.  

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY HEALTHY SNACKS?

Healthy snacks are not only good for you; they also offer your body the nutrients it needs. Healthy snacks can be both good for you and satisfying. When you eat snacks properly, they become a part of your healthy eating routine, keep you energized, and satisfy your appetite in between meals.

What Constitutes a Healthy Snack?

Read the nutrition facts label to see if a snack is healthy, and choose snacks that are low in fat and added sugar and high in fiber and water. Choose fresh fruits over flavored drinks, whole grain snacks over high-fat snacks, and low-fat snacks over high-fat snacks.
