The primary purpose of snacking is to take the edge off pre-mealtime hunger without exceeding your everyday caloric needs. Mindful snacking -- or eating a nutritious, properly-portioned snack when hunger strikes -- boosts your intake of essential nutrients and health-promoting food substances such as fiber and antioxidants. Careless snacking, on the other hand, can easily take you over your daily energy requirements while providing little to no nutritional benefit -- a practice that can contribute to the development of a range of health problems. Snacking out of habit, boredom, stress or frustration rather than out of hunger often leads to weight gain. Frequent snacking is also more likely to take you over your daily calorie budget and result in excess weight, especially if you eat energy-dense snacks or your servings are large. High-calorie foods and beverages, oversized portions and frequent snacking have caused the average American adult to take in almost 600 calories more per day than in the late 1970s, according to BBC News. Researchers suggest that these factors, combined with higher levels of physical inactivity, are the source of the obesity epidemic in the United States. Join Omowale Adewale's Workshop & Food Demo "Champion Tips on Eating Healthy Snacks" where he will show you how to make homemade hummus for a healthy snack alternative at 2:00pm at The Roc-A-Natural H.O.T.S Pavilion: A Kujichagulia Day of Healing and Kwanzaa Celebration in collaboration with Mt. Sinai Christian Church Health and Wellness Ministry, Sunday, December 27, 2015 at The Mt. Sinai Center for Community Enrichment,382 Jersey St, Staten Island, NY 10301.

Omowale Adewale, born Lawrence James was born in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY. During his trip to Lagos, Nigeria in 2005 he was given the name by his friend and organizer Moyosore Akojenu. Moyosore passed in 2007. Omowale Adewale means the son has come home; the crown has returned. Omowale was a teen amateur bodybuilder finalist and two-time collegiate gold medalist at 18. He has competed at boxing, martial arts and mixed martial arts matches and tournaments. He won an amateur boxing belt in his mid-30's. Since the age of seven, Omowale was attracted to political change. Omowale had managed to work every level of local or State electoral campaign including campaign manager with an above average success rate without ever graduating from college. He worked in the NYS Assembly for six years. In 2001, after a year of fostering his vision of an artist union, recognizing the mistreatment of artists, Omowale spearheaded the Grassroots Artists MovEment (G.A.ME) with other organizers and artists. The fledgling organization received significant recognition in the organizing world and music industry, particularly, Hip-Hop. G.A.ME accomplished providing health care to artists for a short time and helped artists understand the politics of the music industry. Their change in adopting projects to help young people of color redefine themselves still blossom today. In 2004, Omowale's first published work was featured in Socialism & Democracy's 36th issue "Hip-Hop, Race and Cultural Politics." Last year, Omowale sought to help any and everyone become vegan through a host of media and communications with the#GoVeg2014 campaign. He resides in the city of New York with his wife and kids as a small urban farmer, trainer and community organizer.
