Skipping breakfast is not advisable when it comes to maintaining a healthy diet for overall well being. But there are ways to make up for it and it’s as simple as getting your snacking habits right.

Nuts are known to be a nutritious addition for most diet plans and munching on almonds can help compensate for losing out on a filling breakfast. Eating almonds can help students have better blood sugar levels despite missing out on the most important meal of the day.

Almonds have been found to contain healthy fats, protein, vitamin E as well as magnesium. In addition to lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, these nuts can reduce hunger and also aide weight gain.

Students also find almonds more appealing than crackers as a snacking choice after they start eating it every day.
