SNACKS FOR THE WIN

• RECIPES BY JOY CHO

WE HERE AT PREVENTION are major snackers, and we're not ashamed to admit it. Munching between meals had a less-than-stellar reputation when the focus was too much on weight loss. Luckily, that has changed. "I'm a big fan of snacking," says Jaclyn London, R.D., a nutrition consultant and podcast host and the author of Dressing on the Side (and Other Diet Myths Debunked). "It can be advantageous to fuel our schedules and keep up our energy levels with snacks that involve smaller portions of intentional, nutrient-dense combos."

Use London's smart snacking guidelines, customizing them to your lifestyle:

Eat a meal or snack every three to four hours. This schedule supports steady energy and helps you avoid being ravenous going into your next meal.

Make sure your snack contains the satiety trifecta: protein, fiber, and healthy fat. This nutritional equation stabilizes blood sugar to keep your energy and mood even and let you remain full.

Is your tummy rumbling? Start the better-for-you snacking journey with these perfectly curated bites.

What's Up With...Smelly Gas - You can blame it on the dog, but it happens to everyone.

The average person toots around 14 times a day-it's how your body releases the extra gas that accumulates when you swallow air and digest food, says Shilpa Ravella, M.D., author of A Silent Fire: The Story of Inflammation, Diet, and Disease. If you chew gum or smoke, you'll have even more gas buildup, she adds.
