Snack Smartly

We are a nation of snackers and we tend to get a whopping 25% of
our daily calories from our snacks. But surprisingly, snacking
isn’t necessarily bad for our health. Dr Sarah Berry at Kings
College London explores a pragmatic approach to snacking, and
tells Michael how what you snack on and when you snack has the
greatest impact on your health. You don’t have to stop snacking -
just snack smartly by swapping in some less-processed options.
Our volunteer Denise, a hotel facilities manager from Liverpool,
tries to reap the benefits of better snacks.
