Coffee and chocolate may seem like
poor choices to deal with cravings, but
this is not the case. Both contain
caffeine, which can help jumpstart...

11. For starters, coffee & chocolate
contain antioxidants, which
protect the human body from
damage at the cellular level.
Chlorogenic acid, an antioxidant
found almost exclusively in coffee,
could help prevent cardiovascular
disease. Caffeine also helps
strengthen memory.

FIGHT FATIGUE,

15. CURBING
YOUR
CRAVINGS

16. SNACKING IS ACTUALLY QUITE
BENEFICIAL TO THE HUMAN BODY,
but overdoing it or doing it improperly
can be harmful. So before you go to
graze at the fridge or vending machine,
consider these five factors.

17. 1. PLAN YOUR MEALS AND SNACKS.
2. STAY HYDRATED.
3. LEARN TO LISTEN TO YOUR HUNGER AND CUES.
4. EAT SLOWLY AND MINDFULLY.
5. MANAGE STRESS.

18. SMARTER
SNACKING

19. Nearly all Americans consume at least 1 snack per day, which contributes significantly to
our daily energy intake. However, the snacks we choose often do not contribute to our
required nutrient intake. By being mindful of the snacks we consume, we can both boost our
energy and supply our bodies with much needed nutrition. Start snacking smarter by
choosing snacks like these:
CHOOSING BALANCED SNACKS
1. UNSALTED PEANUTS
2. POPCORN
3. TRAIL MIX
4. LOW FAT / FAT-FREE YOGURT
5. FRUIT SMOOTHIE

20. SMART SNACKS TO SATISFY YOUR
SWEET TOOTH:
FRESH FRUIT
PARFAIT
BAKED APPLES WITH CINNAMON

21. BE SURE TO EAT EVERY THREE TO FOUR
HOURS. LARGER GAPS BETWEEN MEALS
AND SNACKS COULD CAUSE YOUR BLOOD
SUGAR LEVELS TO DROP TOO LOW, WHICH
LEADS TO DECREASED ENERGY, MOOD
SWINGS, AND THE DESIRE TO OVEREAT.

22. FINALLY, FREQUENT EATING:
1. MAINTAINS YOUR ENERGY.
2. KEEPS YOU FULL.
3. HELPS YOU EXPERIENCE A VARIETY OF FOODS.
