“After a good dinner, one can forgive anybody, even one\u2019s own relatives.”<\/em>\u00a0– Oscar Wilde<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Food is one of the most basic foundations of life, along with everything else that Maslow deems necessary. But over the course of the pandemic, this seemingly base physiological need somehow gained an all-new level of prominence.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Snacking became an easy part of the work-from-home routine, adding regular breaks to the monotony of remote working. So, if \u201csnacktivity\u201d were to ever be added to the Olympic Games, you\u2019d likely get the entire world ready to compete! For many, self-improvement resolutions to “do better” are associated only with New Year’s.\u00a0However, New Year\u2019s resolutions can often be fleeting. That\u2019s why at this half year point, we\u2019re taking a look back at the promises we made ourselves, while also shining a light on all things good<\/a> \u2013 especially healthy activities and resolutions!<\/p>\n

All about snacking<\/h2>\n

Are you reaching out for that pack of chips because you\u2019re hungry? There\u2019s no debate about the merits of a good meal (after all, who can argue with Oscar Wilde?) But there is debate about the merits of constant snacking between meals.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Now snacking can be healthy, too. But which type are you indulging in?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Good snacking vs. bad snacking<\/h2>\n

Snacking is snacking, right? Not really \u2013 there are different kinds of snacking. That bag of chips you pick up as you watch a movie isn\u2019t necessarily the best idea. But the bowl of fruit definitely is.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

The key difference is the kind of food, of course. But it\u2019s also the frequency of snacking.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Why snack? The remote working benefits<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve all heard about how too much snacking isn\u2019t a good idea. It can increase weight and even make you sluggish. But this is all associated with bad<\/em> snacking.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Smart snacking, or good snacking, comes with a range of health benefits. And these can come in quite handy, especially now that remote working has become the norm.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

How do these two connect? When working remotely, especially from the comforts of home, it\u2019s not uncommon to just reach out for a snack as monotony kicks in. So, what are the work benefits of snacking?<\/p>\n
