SNACKING

What Is It Go

There are many different opinions on the healthiness of snacking. Some people think of snacks as processed foods with high calories, but snacks don’t have to be junk food. Depending on what snacks you’re eating, and how often, these little in-between-meal bites can be highly beneficial or detrimental to your overall health. HEALTHY VS. UNHEALTHY SNACKS People snack when they’re hungry, but they also do it when they’re stressed, bored, or have a habit. When people snack on unhealthy junk food when they’re bored, the result is weight gain. An excellent way to avoid unhealthy snacks is to surround yourself with healthy alternatives.

Fill your fridge and pantry with whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and nuts and legumes. With those in your kitchen, you’ll have plenty of healthy options to choose from when you’re hungry. WHO BENEFITS FROM SNACKING? Depending on your weight, fitness level, and medical conditions, snacking throughout the day can be more effective than eating three large meals a day. Individuals who are crunched for time, have particular health conditions, are athletic, or are trying to lose or maintain weight all benefit from healthy snacking throughout the day.

THE DANGERS OF SOCIAL MEDIA After an accident, a lot of questions have to be answered. “How will I pay for the medical bills?” “Should I hire an attorney?” “Am I going to be okay?” But one question few people think to ask is, “Can I still post on Facebook?” The most common social media mistake people make right after an accident is to post about it. Word of an accident spreads fast. Instead of calling or texting every person who may worry, it seems like the best way to reassure your loved ones after an accident is to make a post. The problem is that if you make a post online saying you’re “okay,” the insurance company can point to this and insist that your injuries aren’t as severe as you claim. On the other hand, if you make a post about how terrible your injuries are, but you later describe your injuries or pain differently, this could be seen as “evidence” that you’re lying. Even if you never mention the accident or your case online, anything you share on social media can be used to undermine your case. Let’s say the pain from a motorcycle accident makes it hard for you to walk. Then sometime after the accident, you post a photo of yourself in the park with your family. It doesn’t matter if you were in pain the whole time or if you only put on a happy face for your family. The insurance company can easily use this photo to deny your claims of pain and suffering. They can also use this tactic if someone else posts a picture of you. After an accident and during a personal injury case, it’s best to remove yourself from social media altogether. Don’t post anything, and request that your friends and family refrain from making any posts about your condition or sharing any photos of you online, even if your accounts are set to private. At this point, you may be wondering if you should delete your social media accounts altogether. No, deleting your accounts or posts makes it seem like you have something to hide. That suspicion, warranted or not, can be used to undermine your case. It’s better just to log out and not use social media until your case is over.
