Healthy Late Night Snacks:

We all have those days. You’re about to go to bed, but you just can’t ignore that pang in your stomach. It’s 10pm. What can you eat that will satisfy you until morning, but not wreck your diet or keep you awake?

Here are a few healthy late-night snacking options:

Apple with nut butter – Dipping apple slices in a tablespoon of a natural nut butter provides a good combination of fiber and healthy fat that will keep you satisfied until breakfast.

Handful of almonds – The fiber and protein in almonds is filling, and some suggest that the magnesium in almonds may actually help you fall asleep.

Eggs – A hard-boiled egg is an easy, protein-packed snack to grab late at night.

Oats – We typically think of oats as a breakfast food, but it’s a great choice at night. The complex carbs will break down slowly and help regulate your blood sugar. Cook up some oats with your favorite milk–a warm bowl will get you in a cozy, ready-for-bed state

Fish oil is unique among omega-3 fats. It is an essential fat, meaning it must be consumed in your diet in order for you to function at your best. Eat the deep-sea cold water fish like salmon, herring, mackerel, and sardines, or the fish oil capsules. 1-2g/day is a good minimum, although some people need more due to years of not having fish oil in their diet.

According to WebMD, omega-3 fatty acids can lower blood pressure and reduce the likelihood of heart attack and stroke. Doctors of chiropractic are spinal health and well-being providers trained to counsel patients on proper nutrition and diet. Talk with your DC today about incorporating omega-3 foods into your diet to improve overall health.

Please be aware: Coronavirus may only give you 1 or 2 of these symptoms. Also, the order of things seems to be stomach/intestine to body/back aches to lung problems(cough/difficulty breathing).

Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of COVID-19 may appear two to 14 days after exposure and can include:

Loss of appetite, Stomach/intestinal ache, Backache, Other Aches, Tiredness, Runny nose, Sore throat, Fever, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

The severity of COVID-19 symptoms can range from very mild to severe. Some people have no symptoms. People who are older or have existing chronic medical conditions, such as heart or lung disease or diabetes, may be at higher risk of serious illness.

A new study suggests respiratory symptoms aren't the only thing doctors and patients should be looking out for.
