Transcripts

Dr. Russell Greenfield: You know, it's really not necessary to spend a lot of money in order to have a healthy diet. Let's talk first about snacks and start with nuts. A lot of people had to believe that eating nuts will make them gain weight, but a small handful of walnuts, almonds or cashews everyday does not appear to contribute towards weight gain. Provides a rich source of protein, fiber and other nutrients and its good for your heart.

Besides nuts are tasty snack that in small quantities rapidly relieve hunger pangs. Another healthy snack ideas again in moderation is chocolate, but specifically dark chocolate.

Data suggests that a small piece of dark chocolate each day can support blood vessel health. As far as meals go I focus on brightly colored fruits and vegetables, organic cheese veggies, beans and brown rice allows for a wide variety of recipe ideas and are both tasty and affordable. Add a cup of green tea as a beverage a small side salad and you are partaken of a healthy meal that's also good for your wallet.

In the mood for something a little more substantial? Fish, chicken and turkey breast and occasionally some roasts can be prepared in a joy for meal the same day, then refrigerate it and kept on hand for sandwiches the next day.

Some people turn to eating more food when they get a little down emotionally, keep in mind that overindulging even on inexpensive healthy fare can be unhealthy for you keep your portion sizes reasonable and do some physical activity every day, not only will you stay healthy, but you'll feel better as well.
