# What is the best snack between meals?

  So, let's explore first when snacking started in our society.

It started during the industrial revolution where factory workers needed to take several breaks throughout the day.

So it is a very modern concept.

In history, we humans only ate twice or three times a day.

Also, with the industrial revolution, the food industry started to produce snacks and heavily market them around.

So in terms of health, we don't need snacks and should not have snacks.

It is essential to have periods with no food so the body can process other bodily functions apart from digestion.

So stop snacking and drink more water!

For more tips, read my books available on this website.

I get asked this question all the time.
