Misura's video with Dr. Andrea Del Seppia

When you feel like having a snack, can nothing stop you? Our nutritionist, Dr. Andrea Del Seppia, helps us to choose what to satisfy our hunger, without exaggerating.

Today we will talk about the snacks that accompany us during our days.

Although they fall within the five recommended daily meals, they are very often undervalued or overlooked due to lack of time, desire but also due to lack of knowledge of the beneficial effects they can exercise.

First of all, they perform a regulatory action in the intestine, especially if you get into the habit of consuming them at more or less fixed times.
Depending on the calories introduced in the three main meals and the needs of the individual, the snacks must have a variable caloric intake, allowing us on the one hand to arrive with a controllable hunger at the next meal and avoiding, on the other, that they make us reach the meal with little hunger causing us to skip or delay it.

Surely it is good to remember the importance of the three recommended portions of fruit, taking the opportunity to consume seasonal fruit, but also a centrifuge or an extract based on fruit and vegetables, which allow us to remain light while limiting the calories.
If the next meal is too far away and fruit alone seems insufficient we choose a whole grain cereal with a low glycemic index, like a simple cracker or bars of mixed grains with dried and dehydrated fruit.
