Why They are My Snacks? ❤

Everyone loves snacks but eating too much unhealthy snacks will cause you to gain weight. Instead of eating unhealthy snacks why don’t we choose the right snacks that make you weight loss! Don’t scarifying snacks to cut your calories!

Said by nutritionist Rania Batayneh, the author of The One One One Diet “Snacking is an opportunity to fuel your body between meals.”

So here you go, the snacks that entry into my diet and the reason why I having them as my snacks.

1. Mango
A mango has very good source of 2.5-3.5g fiber. A man generally requires 30-35g of fiber and a woman requires 20-25g of fiber, daily. The fiber boosts the digestive function of the body by burning additional calories, helping in weight loss, improving your heart’s health, low cholesterol, elimination and etc.

Besides that, mango contains lot of vitamins and nutrients that help the body feel fuller and also a great source for your daily dose of Vitamin A and Vitamin C.

You can also enjoy low calorie healthy mango yogurt or smoothies!

Anyway, please bear in mind eating a mango is great for health but eating too many can lead to weight gain as well :) 

2. Avocado

Avocado tastes amazing and is a very versatile ingredient allowing it to be used into so many meals!

Yes, avocado contains s very high fat but it is healthy and a super natural fats; which able to reduce levels of bad cholesterol in your blood, as well as may lower the risk of stroke and heart disease.

An avocado contains lot of vitamins like vitamin K, E and B. Vitamin K plays a fundamental role in maintain healthy bones and tissues, while vitamin B helps your body's metabolism and its maintenance of a healthy skin tone. Vitamin E to boost its immune system so that it can fight off invading bacteria and viruses.
