Make snack trays that include vegetables like carrot sticks, cucumbers, olives and tomatoes. And don’t forget the fruit — mindlessly snacking on apple slices or grapes is much better for your health than going to town on that bag of chips. Fruits and vegetables are filling, low in fat and provide your body with the essential vitamins, minerals and fiber it needs. Healthy diets rich in fruits and vegetables also may reduce your risk of cancer and other chronic diseases, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
