As we sit in our offices, most of us binge on junk food until we realize the outcomes of it, which in most cases is an expanding waist line. Hence, to keep that line in control, the National Peanut Board or NPB unveils the Peanuts: Energy for the Good Life iPhone app. With the help of this application everybody from mothers to working professionals can adapt to a more balanced nutritional lifestyle.
This app piles on several recipes, snack suggestions along with a five-minute mindfulness meditation exercise. It is very important to follow a healthier lifestyle, wherein we ourselves benefit from balanced diets and stress-busting meditations. With over 30 recipes hand-picked by dietitians, iPhone owners can access them anywhere, may it be while in a mall, at office or home.
“According to our latest Consumer Attitudes Tracking Study, 90 percent of Americans have at least one jar of peanut butter in their household,” commented National Peanut Board president and managing director Raffaela Marie Fenn. “But in designing this app, we wanted to give users more than just great recipes with peanuts and peanut butter; we wanted to give them a number of ways to re-charge their batteries and stay energized in their lives.”
The Peanuts: Energy for the Good Life iPhone app even enables users to set alarms to remind them of snacks or breaks. Snacks taken in short intervals of time fight out hunger strikes and prevent people from overeating at the time of meals. NPB suggests that since peanuts contain quite a lot of protein, they may be ideal for snacks as they are capable of keeping users nourished and energized for a longer period of time.
Stephan Bodian, the author of Meditation for Dummies and a licensed psychotherapist joins NPB to endow people with a quick and easy five-minute mindfulness meditation exercise. This could result in bringing down the stress levels and engulf users into a state of relaxation with focused awareness. Thus, it enables them to contemplate on each and every sensation of their body and breath.
The Peanuts: Energy for the Good Life iPhone app is now available on the App Store for free.
