Good nutrition has everything to do with the way we snack. This isespecially true with baby boomers and seniors. As we age our appetites may increasefrom all kinds reasons -- hormones, stress, medications. We might feel likesnacking a lot more. On the other hand, our appetites may decrease. From hormones, stress, medications. Or we’re too busy. Or bored and not busy enough.Our senses change too. Maybe there’s less money. A disinterest in cooking.Problems with teeth. Maybe we just don’t feel like eating a full meal. Whatused to be appealing, isn’t.  So snacking happens. But what we choose tosnack on is the real clincher. As we age we may eat smaller meals, even forget to eat, orjust snack throughout the day. This, of course, can cause big-time nutritionproblems. Malnutrition, in fact, is one of the main reasons seniors who livealone or who feel isolated are hospitalized. But it’s not just seniors.Snacking has replaced regular meals, and we tend to snack on the wrong stuff.It’s practically a national pastime, along with other pastimes as well… TV, sittingat the computer, going to a game, visiting friends, parties, meetings, nibblingat work if we work. Snacking is taken for granted.  Yeah, we’ve heard it all before: bad carbs, bad fats, badsugars, bad calories, bad snacking. And we all know how this stuff impacts ourhealth, and can lead to death-causing diseases  (high blood pressure,heart attack and stroke, plus cancer). But we still do bad snacking. It’sjust...really convenient. And our taste buds are conditioned out of habit towant such foods. These are emotional reasons, of course, and defy the logic ofhealthy eating. But habit and emotions are not logical.  It’s obvious, especially to baby boomers and seniors whosebodies are changing and possibly developing health issues, that we need to takea close look at our snacking and re-think our options. Even small changes canhelp. Here are a couple of easy healthy snack recipes, to start.I’m sure you’ve heard of free radicals in our bodies and how they causedisease. And that antioxidants in certain foods combat these free radicals. Butwho wants to eat all that broccoli, spinach and garlic. So … make a really greattrail mix snack that has a ton of the antioxidant foods in it. You can getthese ingredients in the natural food section of your store. Any combination ofthem will do. You can find a lot of them in the bulk food bins. And really tryto get ingredients without added sugar! You can also find them pre-prepared. Antioxidant Trail Mix --  Walnuts, pecans,filberts, pistachios, dried cranberries, dried goji berries, dried redcherries, dried blueberries, raisins. Mix it together, put it in a canister,and munch away! You may even find an already-made antioxidant mix in the bulkbins. Some natural food companies sell them.  Deluxe Grilled Cheese -- It’s important to use ahearty whole grain bread and low-fat  cheese. Very lightly butter the twopieces of bread as usual for making grilled cheese. Or olive oil can be spreadon instead if you prefer. Add two slices of the low-fat cheese of your choice.Add a slice of tomato, a few spinach leaves or romaine lettuce, a sliced ringof red pepper, and optional avocado slices. Try a few pieces of walnuts orpecans (big in antioxidants) for a little crunch – it’s great! You can alsospread on a little salsa. Or include a slice of lean meat. Grill the sandwichin a pan on both sides, as usual. Serve with pickles and whole-grain tortillachips.  We have loads of healthy snack recipes for you and yourloved ones (of any age – kids love them too).
