Looking for a healthy late time snack?

Try a little protein. Foods high in protein burn more calories when you digest them which can help increase metabolism while you’re sleeping. Try a little low fat string cheese or non-fat Greek yogurt.

Here’s Some interesting news from Men’s Health Magazine:

Did you know that Prunes are one of the most effective fruits for reversing bone loss and preserving bone mass, according to Bahram Arjmandi, Ph.D., R.D., chairman of the department of nutrition, food and exercise sciences at Florida State University.

Prunes have unique polyphenols with antioxidant properties that help fight osteoporosis.  Shoot for three prunes a day, with a glass of water to keep the fiber and sugar alcohol from dehydrating you.
