Worldwide, more than a thousand cultivated varieties of plums are pitted and dried to make prunes, which are usually eaten as a single-fruit snack. Prune juice and puree are also versatile as consumer and industrial products. Prunes are frequently used in cooking for both sweet and savory dishes, as well as with yogurt. Stewed or in a hot compote, prunes are favored as a dessert. They have a wide variety of uses in traditional meals, snacks, and side dishes.

Some say that four or five small, nutritional meals a day are better than two or three larger ones— especially if one is a big meal at the end of the day. The reasoning is that the digestive and assimilation process works better with more frequent but smaller amounts. The smaller meals, however, should not be junk food. Instead, good snacks should include fresh fruit, raisins, raw carrots, celery sticks, and so forth. 

Fruit and vegetable snacks are fat-free and high in vitamins and minerals. 

Likewise, before you take a test, stick to a light snack of energy boosting and relaxing foods. A glass of milk, a piece of fruit, or some peanuts all release various memory-boosting chemicals and help you to relax and focus on the subject at hand. 

I put this into practice when my children were little. I was trying to establish a heart-healthy lifestyle to protect them from heart disease later in life. That meant limiting the cake, cookies, ice cream, pizza, and so forth. So when they were invited to birthday parties or elsewhere, about twenty minutes before we were to leave the house I d ask whether they were hungry. Of course, little kids are always hungry So I d give them a healthy snack of some sliced fruit, a small sandwich, a cup of soup, or something like that. When they got to the party, they weren t ravenous and therefore ate a lot less of the fatty foods than they would have otherwise. 

Ultimately, the ideal would be to never get very hungry. Make sure to have another healthy snack midafternoon. This doesn t mean the typical doughnut and coffee. Instead, make it a handful of nuts or dried fruit or perhaps a granola bar. 

Surely, in that listing, there must be some foods that start your mouth watering Why not add some of them to your shopping list right now And be sure to include some dried fruits, such as apricots and raisins that you can keep in the car, your purse, or the office for handy, healthy snacks. Shoot for a potassium intake of at least 3,500 mg daily, ideally 4,700 mg (4.7 grams/120 mmol). 

How might that fit into an average day For breakfast you might start with a glass of juice. Then slice half a banana into your cereal or add one-fourth cup of blueberries or another fruit. At your midmorning and midafternoon breaks, try to replace the coffee and the doughnut with a glass of juice or a piece of fruit, at least two or three days a week. Keep a ready supply of dried fruits for snacks at home, in the car, and where you work. 

So when Ross and Jenny came home from school, looking for a snack, I devised some tempting treats. Instead of a whole apple, I sliced that apple and used raisins to make faces. Pretty simple. Other times I sliced a variety of fruits and offered them on a plate with some fruit-flavored yogurt as a dip. When I had the time and wanted to be creative, I cut bell peppers to use as palm fronds on trunks of longitudinally sliced carrots, perhaps with a bush of broccoli, and a pond of low-fat salad dressing on a platter. Mothers in the neighborhood began to wonder why their kids wanted to come to our house after school Yup, I was Mr. Mom, and I loved it. 

I really believe that Americans eat so few fruits and vegetables because they don t know what to do with them beyond simply peeling a banana or boiling a bunch of carrots. Pretty boring for the most part. Sure, a nice ripe banana can be a quick, tasty snack, but very little effort converts that humble banana into a spectacular flaming dessert. And those carrots come alive with flavor after adding a touch of this and a sprig of that. 

The type of food to which antioxidants may be added is variable and ranges from baked goods, biscuits, chewing gum, dry snacks, fruit drinks, mayonnaise, meat products, nuts, and oils and fats, among others. For food applications, the antioxidants must be effective at low concentrations (below 0.02%, w/w) because at high concentrations, they may act as pro-oxidants. The antioxidants should also be nontoxic.
