Snacking in between work is very common, to counter the fatigue and boredom, or maybe even for quick boost of energy.

Munching on unhealthy, sugary snacks in between work is harmful. It decreases focus, makes you sleepy and leads to low energy. In the long run, it leads to weight gain, and chronic diseases. Replace these unhealthy snacks with healthier alternatives.

Nuts: Nuts like almonds, cashews, walnuts, and pistachios are perfect crunchy office snacks. Packed with essential nutrients, they offer numerous benefits for cognitive function and overall health.

Fruit: When craving sugary goodness, turn to nature's sweetness and have fruit instead. Along with essential vitamins, they are good source of antioxidants. Banana, cucumber, apple, grapes are healthy 'snacking' options.

Makhana: If you're craving something savoury and are tempted by chips high in saturated fat, choose makhana instead. Low in calories and high in protein, seasoned makhana is delicious, and even the unseasoned variety is tasty.

Oats and millet-based cookies: The sweet crunchiness of cookies makes them a popular idle snack. Ditch regular flour cookies and opt for oats and millet-based varieties instead. They are lower in sugar content and come packed with good nutrients.

Greek yoghurt: With bites of crunchy fruit pulp and the goodness of fresh creamy texture, Greek yogurt is low in calories but keeps you full. It also contains beneficial probiotics that promote good gut health.
