What Are The Disadvantages Of Snacks?

Mindful snacking -- or eating a nutritious, properly-portioned snack when hunger strikes -- boosts your intake of essential nutrients and health-promoting food substances such as fiber and antioxidants. Careless snacking, on the other hand, can easily take you over your daily energy requirements while providing little to no nutritional benefit -- a practice that can contribute to the development of a range of health problems. Snacking out of habit, boredom, stress or frustration rather than out of hunger often leads to weight gain. Consuming too many refined or sugar-rich foods can cause high blood triglyceride levels while decreasing levels of health-promoting HDL cholesterol and may contribute to inflammation and oxidative stress, according to the American Heart Association. Eating frequently increases the risk of tooth decay and eaten two or three hours before lunch or dinner, a small, nutritious snack can both tide you over and help prevent you from overeating at mealtime.

Most of the foods categorized as "snack foods" are not healthy. For example, chocolate bars, candies, granola bars, crackers, potato chips, fruit punches and soft drinks are all loaded with unnecessary calories, fats and sugar. In addition, most snack foods fail to provide your body with the important nutrients it needs for optimal health. The increased prevalence of overweight and obesity can be attributed to many reasons, one of them being an increased calorie intake. Americans consumed 570 more calories every day -- compared to just over three decades ago -- and most of these calories come from snacking. Most people snack not just because they are hungry. Food availability contributes to snacking. For example, if you are at a meeting and muffins, bagels or donuts are available, you are likely to snack and consume more calories than your body needs. Other people snack because they need something to spice up their boring afternoon. Although a bag of potato chips could make your boring job seems more bearable for a few seconds, the negative effect on your waistline is probably not worth it.

Snacks are rich in saturated fats and sodium which contributes to weight gain, obesity,
chronic cardiac disease, hypertension and diabetes mellitus.Eating sweet snacks when
you are hungry destabilizes your blood sugar, causing sugar highs and subsequent crashes
whether or not you are diabetic. Overconsumption of sugary snacks, which includes sweet
drinks, may lead to the onset of hypoglycemia, commonly known as low blood sugar, or
hyperglycemia, which is also referred to as high blood sugar. Prolonged blood sugar problems
could have dangerous implications for your present and future health that range from
circulatory disorders to strokes.

1) Often snacks are rich in saturated fats and sodium
which contributes to weight gain, obesity, chronic cardiac disease,
hypertension and diabetes mellitus.

2) Snacks make you satiated so that consumption at meal times is low.
This results in less consumption of healthy nutritious food.

3) It has something of a positive feedback effect.
The more snacks you eat (especially those rich in simple sugars),
the more you crave them. The more you crave them, the more you consume.
Hence, the health risks become very prominent when increasing amounts of snacks are consumed.

4) Snacks are also budget extensive.
Many people spend a lot on empty calories from snacks
that they can save if they have a healthy meal at home.

Snacking can result in overfeeding on snack foods -
you may not know when to draw the line. As with adults
when you binge on snacks, you lose appetite for proper foods.
Expect the same to happen with your baby if he has been snacking more than he should
- our appetite for meals will drop. Over snacking on empty calorie snacks
can then interfere with meal times.
,,, Don't eat some snack before you will
eat a meal.

I am one of them that really love to eat snacks especially, when watch TV and drive a car as well. But yeap i know that the high saturated fat and sodium content in many snack foods make it difficult to keep your weight under control, especially if you have the habit of snacking every day or multiple times during the day. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that between 15 and 30 percent of American adults struggle with obesity, a condition caused by overeating fatty, salty and sugar foods, which includes snacks. The CDC also states that overconsumption of such foods can be linked to numerous health conditions ranging from heart disease to some forms of cancer.

Snacking too much can gain our weight!!
Researching in 2008, men consumed more than 585 calories from snacking, while women consumed an extra 420 calories, says the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Consuming more calories from snacking may contribute to weight gain over time. It takes an excess of 3,500 calories in your diet to gain 1 pound of body weight, explains MayoClinic.com. If you have two 250-calorie snacks per day, you consume 500 daily calories just from snacks. By the end of a seven-day period, you have an extra 3,500 calories in your diet. This may lead to as much as 1 pound of weight gain in as little as a week, depending on your activity level and how many calories you burn from exercise and daily activities.

Snacking can result in overfeeding on snack foods - you or your child may not know when to draw the line. As with adults when you binge on snacks, you lose appetite for proper foods. Expect the same to happen with your baby if he has been snacking more than he should - his appetite for meals will drop. Over snacking on empty calorie snacks can then interfere with meal times. Healthful snacks like fruits or cheese bites are okay in limits. Sometimes parents allow their children to snack to keep them quiet or content, or as a show of affection from overindulgent parents. What happens next is snacking at the wrong time and refusing food at the right time.

These are the disadvantages of snacks.
A need to take a few energy boosting snacks became a big concern for people complaining from energy shortage and fatigue during school time and work days. Both adults and kids need a light snack to stay energetic and concentrating. Such snack differs according to what they used to eat and what they love, but mostly not all snacks are light or healthy.

The healthiest snacks should contain a variety of nutrition elements under the condition of easy digestion. However, some prefer to take quick energy boosters, such as chocolates or carbohydrates, believing that they boost their energy and keep them concentrating.

The secret behind the snacks that contain carbohydrates is ‘being digested immediately when you eat them’. Carbohydrates are considered the body’s first preference on energy. But such technique is suitable in case of sport training and hard work; and mostly not so healthy for our lazy, modern lifestyle.

Energy boosting through carbohydrates has a disadvantage that many don’t bear in mind. Eating carbohydrate-rich foods, according to the amount of daily physical work or activities, should have a good effect on your body and brain. But if you don’t do sufficient physical activities to burn the calories resulting from carbohydrates, they will be stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen. Carbohydrate-based diets result in liver issue called “fatty liver”, and that’s why you should consume certain energy foods in moderation.
