Ever finish up some&nbsp;late-night&nbsp;work after dinner and just as you&rsquo;re getting ready for bed, a sudden craving for something sweet creeps in? You want something that doesn&rsquo;t require prep time, tastes delicious and won&rsquo;t play against your sleep.&nbsp;&nbsp;
As it turns out, bananas aren&rsquo;t just the most convenient and&nbsp;tasty snack, they&rsquo;re also a great sleeping aid.&nbsp;
A medium-sized banana takes care of 9 per cent of your daily potassium requirement, 33 per cent of your vitamin B6, and 8 per cent of your magnesium needs.&nbsp;But that&rsquo;s not all, this much-loved fruit also helps&nbsp;reduce stress and anxiety, allay muscle cramps and regulate your sleep-wake cycle.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The magnesium in the banana&nbsp;helps you relax and release stress before bed. As you might know, stress is one of the biggest&nbsp;hindrances&nbsp;to getting good sleep.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The high levels of vitamin B6 in banana work on boosting serotonin production, a neurotransmitter that controls your body&rsquo;s melatonin levels.&nbsp;Melatonin, in turn,&nbsp;regulates your internal clock by making you feel sleepy in the evening.&nbsp;
Lastly, the potassium content helps not just&nbsp;relax your muscles and reduce night-time cramps but also regulate your blood pressure naturally. This wonder mineral works&nbsp;all night to cut down the harmful effects of sodium in the body.&nbsp;
However, if you&rsquo;re suffering from a cough or have a cold, you may want to avoid eating bananas before bed.&nbsp;People who are prone to asthma, sinus and cold may also want to&nbsp;avoid it late in the evening and also at night.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Why bananas make for a pretty good bedtime snack

Sometimes cravings can creep in at odd hours after dinner!&nbsp;
Bananas are not a just convenient snack but also aid better sleep
9% of daily potassium requirement 33% of daily vitamin B6 requirement 8% of daily magnesium requirement
Magnesium in banana helps you&nbsp;relax and release stress before bed
Vitamin B6 boosts serotonin, regulates body's melatonin levels&nbsp;
Potassium relaxes muscles, allay cramping &amp; regulates BP&nbsp;
Avoid bananas at night if you have cold or cough

Samosa gets a Halloween twist; Pumpkin replaces potato

A popular US-based grocery chain, Trader Joe's has recently launched pumpkin samosas.&nbsp;

The most popular Indian snack ever and also our favourite samosa gets an American makeover. And you can&rsquo;t even imagine what they are stuffed with. Definitely not potatoes but these American counterparts of samosas are stuffed with pumpkins.
A popular US-based grocery chain, Trader Joe's has recently launched these samosas and is calling them "Spicy Pumpkin Samosas"
Halloween is knocking at the door and pumpkins are found almost everywhere during this time of year, pumpkin samosa could be a thing for Americans or the local Indians.
However, some desis are not happy with this and call it an injustice to our favourite &lsquo;samosa&rsquo;. What do you think?

Here are some tasty and nutritious foods that will help control your appetite and make you feel satiated for longer. 

Satiating foods to end all mid-meal hunger pangs

If you feel like you&rsquo;re always fighting untimely food cravings, you&rsquo;re not the only one. From hormones and hydration to your stress levels, there are many things that can contribute to random hunger pangs.&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;re not sure why you&rsquo;re always hungry, it may be possible that the food you&rsquo;re eating is just not making you full enough. While cravings may be annoying at times, suppressing them can cause you to binge eat all the wrong foods.&nbsp;
Here are some tasty and nutritious foods that will help control your appetite and make you feel satiated for longer.&nbsp;
OATMEAL&nbsp;

SEED MIX&nbsp;
Nuts and seeds provide various important minerals, healthy fats and protein. What better way to get your daily dose of this food group than a&nbsp;homemade trail&nbsp;mix?&nbsp;Almonds, walnuts,&nbsp;dried fruit,&nbsp;flaxseeds, pumpkin or&nbsp;chia seeds &ndash; you can&rsquo;t go wrong with&nbsp;this.&nbsp;&nbsp;
POPCORN&nbsp;
When done right, popcorn is not just a crowd pleaser but a healthy snack! A great source of fibre and antioxidants, pop some corn at home without loading it with salt or butter and eat whenever the cravings come knocking.&nbsp;&nbsp;
COTTAGE CHEESE&nbsp;
While cheese and fruit are synonymous with charcuterie boards, you can&nbsp;snack on&nbsp;good old paneer&nbsp;that is rich in&nbsp;vitamin B12,&nbsp;calcium&nbsp;and milk protein.&nbsp;Sprinkle some salt and pepper&nbsp;or turn it into a quick sandwich.
FOX NUTS&nbsp;
Fox nuts or makhanas are a powerful mid-meal snack. They are low in sugar, sodium, cholesterol, and fat but loaded with protein, fibre, potassium and magnesium. If you're diabetic, allergic to gluten or trying to lose weight, makhanas should be your go-to!

Eat these high-protein snacks to stay healthy on the go! 

We&nbsp;all sometimes feel that little afternoon slump and crave a&nbsp;tasty&nbsp;treat&nbsp;to recharge our body&nbsp;to&nbsp;push through the rest of the&nbsp;day.&nbsp;The situation calls for a snack that can be easily made or just eaten out of the box.&nbsp;But more often than not, snacks&nbsp;just&nbsp;aren&rsquo;t as filling&nbsp;and we never know when to stop munching.&nbsp;&nbsp;
This is where protein-rich snacking can save the day. A vital nutrient for the body, protein will make sure that your snack will satiate your cravings and keep you full for longer.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Here are six protein-rich foods that can be consumed as healthy snacks on the go!&nbsp;&nbsp;
EGGS&nbsp;&nbsp;
Eggs are compact packages of nutritive values. They are rich in protein as well as vitamin D and selenium. You can have&nbsp;a hard-boiled egg, an omelette or spruce up a quick egg salad.&nbsp;&nbsp;
YOGURT&nbsp;&nbsp;
Snack on half a cup of plain yogurt for about 11 grams of protein intake. If you&rsquo;re&nbsp;in the mood for something sweet, add some berries, dates or nuts of your choice.&nbsp;&nbsp;
NUTS &amp; SEEDS&nbsp;&nbsp;
They&rsquo;re portable and require zero prep time. Munch on some roasted nuts like almonds, peanuts or&nbsp;walnuts on the go. Amongst seeds, shelled pumpkin seeds in particular are a rich protein source. Make a trail mix with all your favourites!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
PANEER&nbsp;&nbsp;
Paneer or cottage cheese isn&rsquo;t just for shahi dishes&nbsp;and&nbsp;paneer tikka. For healthy snacking, you can have a single serving of paneer with a little bit of salt and pepper, whip&nbsp;up&nbsp;a paneer&nbsp;salad or make a&nbsp;quick&nbsp;paneer sandwich.&nbsp;&nbsp;

There&rsquo;s no avoiding a mid-meal or late-night craving but keeping the right snacks by your side will help you steer clear of&nbsp;unhealthy binge eating habits.&nbsp;&nbsp;

With an ample amount of fibre and&nbsp;low-calorie&nbsp;content, popcorn is actually one of the healthiest snack&nbsp;foods. Made from a&nbsp;nutritious&nbsp;whole grain&nbsp;and full of carbs that take longer to digest, it is easy to imagine why people love going for bucket loads of this delicious treat at movie theatres.
While popcorn in itself is actually very healthy, the version of popcorn you get outside cinema halls is not that great. The&nbsp;ideal way to have popcorn is when it's air-popped and lightly seasoned. It is a&nbsp;filling,&nbsp;inexpensive and fairly tasty snack.&nbsp;&nbsp;
However, a medium-sized tub of popcorn at the&nbsp;movie&nbsp;theatre&nbsp;popcorn can contain up to 1,090 calories and 2,650 milligrams of sodium, according to the American Heart Organisation.&nbsp;High sodium is a leading risk factor for hypertension and stroke.&nbsp;And things only get worse when popcorn is coated in sugary caramel or processed cheese.&nbsp;&nbsp;
So even though popcorn is very healthy, you must be mindful of the way it is prepared and what kind of seasonings are being added afterwards.&nbsp;&nbsp;
When prepared well, popcorn can be your perfect&nbsp;weight-loss&nbsp;snack, packed&nbsp;with antioxidants and minerals like&nbsp;manganese, zinc, magnesium and phosphorus!&nbsp;&nbsp;

Poppin’ popcorn: healthy weight-loss snack or horror show?  

Popcorn is a great high-fibre, low-calorie snack food&nbsp;
It is the common snack ordered by the bucket at theatres&nbsp;
Actual popcorn is healthy but the theatre version is generally not!
The ideal way to eat: air-popped and lightly seasoned
At the cinema: 1 medium tub = 1090 calories, 2650 mg sodium
Coating it in sugary caramel or processed cheese is no better
A mineral and antioxidant-rich snack when eaten on its own
