A balanced and nutritious diet is essential for maintaining good health, and snacks can also be a part of a healthy eating routine.
Choosing the right snacks can satisfy cravings while boosting immunity, reducing chronic inflammation, and even offering anti-cancer benefits.
Nuts and Seeds
Some of the most nutritious nuts and seeds include walnuts, almonds, cashews, and pumpkin seeds. These are rich in healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Additionally, they provide antioxidants and other nutrients like vitamin E, selenium, and polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. Healthy fats, especially omega-3 fatty acids, support cell membrane health, regulate inflammatory responses, and enhance immune function.
