Hallos! Do you find yourself getting sort of hungry around 3pm…even if you’ve had lunch? Do you usually give in and get a doughnut or meat pie or take a soft drink perhaps? Well, none of those things are part of a healthy diet and indeed could cause more problems than the one they are trying to solve.
Healthier options to take about this time (or to use as snacks at any time, really) are nuts (try a mix of different nuts: peanuts/groundnuts, almonds, cashew nuts…you could even throw in some currants. Remember though that though nuts contain heart healthy oils, a little goes a loooong way. So stick to a handful, only), Avocado pears, fruit slices (try to make yours or refrigerate or buy from a vendor you can trust. The type prepared by fruit sellers on the street usually sit out there baking in the sun for a long time before it’s bought) etc.
Have a great day

Nuts… Hmmm! What about the fear of acne (pimples) with eating of nuts? And for those of us with bad teeth, what other options do we have? I really need to snack now (despite a good breakfast barely three hours ago!) – scratching my head…

Hello Sunny, there’s no conclusive study that actually links nuts to pimples though some studies have been suggestive. Besides, if one keeps to the one handful advised in the post, they should be fine and also reap the additional heart healthy nutrients in them. If you’ve got bad teeth, eat fruits or blend them, for that matter, a wrap of moi-moi (steamed bean parcels), some vegetable salad (minus dressing or with minimal dressing) will also not go amiss.
