Add fruit to your midday snack

Fruits are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, as well as other essential components for the body. According to some sources, eating fruit in the afternoon might have more positive effects on your health than eating it in the morning. It is believed that having a high-sugar snack in the afternoon will increase blood sugar levels and "wake up" the digestive system.

Instead of grabbing sweet snacks or caffeinated beverages when 3 p.m, eating fruit as part of a balanced snack can provide you with sustained energy as well as certain nutrients that boost your energy levels. Giving your snack some staying power by including a serving of fruit and protein will help you feel full and prevent a possible sugar crash right after eating.
