Healthy Snack Recipe
Eat at least nine servings of fruit and vegetables a day, recommends the Harvard School of Public Health. That adds up to nearly 5 cups of food. One of the easiest ways to meet those nutritional requirements is by adding dried fruits to your diet. Drying food is an excellent way to preserve it and while it adds a few extra calories thanks to the sugar, preservatives and other ingredients, the nutritional benefits are virtually the same. Once done, you can bring that food anywhere, eat it anytime and reach your nutrition goals every day.
Health
The greatest benefit of eating enough fruit each day is the huge influx of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. According to Jane Oelke, a traditional naturopath and doctor of homeopathy in southwest Michigan, there are 180 vitamins containing nearly 12,000 phytochemicals. It is impossible to get these essential components into your diet in any other way than eating fruits and veggies, says Oelke. The effect of these nutrients include, but are not limited to: improved body functions such as eyesight and circulation, reduced damage from UV sunlight or ulcer risk and even protection against cancer, prostate problems and aging.

Nuts
Eating nuts does not create the calorie intake that you might expect because 5-15% of the calories are not absorbed by the intestinal system. The Nuts’ skin as well as how well we chew nuts influence digestion. Added bonus; The slow release of calories throughout the intestinal system leads to prolonged satiety.
All nuts are high in the B vitamins, which are necessary for metabolism and cell growth. Nuts are also good sources of heart healthy fats and antioxidants, making them the ideal food for preventing heart disease and cancer.1
Almonds help stabilize blood sugar, have high calcium content, and are the least acid forming. They are the only nut to eat on stage 1 of the Body Ecology diet (see important information about almond pasteurization at the end of this article).
Cashews are high in magnesium (second only to almonds) that can help build strong bones and have more carbohydrates and a lower fat content than most other nuts. They are often inexpensive relative to other nuts discussed here.
Walnuts have high levels of vitamin E and an ideal ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids (1:5). These fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties, protect heart health and guard against arthritis.
Pecans also have high vitamin E content and regular consumption may help decrease LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.
Energy
Fruit is primarily carbohydrates. Carbs are sugars that enter your bloodstream and provide energy, but not all carbs offer the same benefits. Fast-acting carbohydrates come from soda, candy bars and other sugary foods. They spike your blood sugar for a short time and then leave you to crash. Fruit contains complex or slow-acting carbs. These trickle energy into your bloodstream over the course of several hours and are a constant source of energy. According to Michael and Mary Eades, authors of “The Protein Power Lifeplan,” you can easily maintain high levels of energy by spacing your dried fruit consumption throughout the day.
Satisfaction
Carbohydrates can also come in the form of fibers. There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble, both of which can be found in dried fruits. Fiber is dense and takes a long time to digest. Every time you snack on dried fruit, you are consuming fiber rich food which sits in your stomach, reduces your hunger and provides a lasting feel of satisfaction for hours at a time. The Eades recommend getting at least 30g of fiber per day and ideally 5g per serving.
