Savvy Snacking

摘要

"Snacking is necessary for kids," says Rachel Brandeis, R.D., a dietitian in Atlanta. "Blood sugar tends to fall three or four hours after eating. If your children are doing any kind of after-school activity, their bodies need to be refueled."Dawn Jackson Blatner, R.D., a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, agrees. "A snack is a bridge to the next meal," she says. "It allows kids to get there without being ravenous."
