Budget Conscious Healthy Eating
 
You can eat healthy on any budget! Shop in season, especially regarding fresh fruits and vegetables. Oftentimes, what is on sale is also what is in season when it comes to produce. Be aware of convenience costs, such as higher priced precut vegetables, where you are paying a significant amount for labor. Consider store brands, but don't get sucked into not price comparing in the moment. While private label brands have historically been less expensive, it is still prudent to do quick price comparisons as it’s always possible your favorite same brand item is on sale. Next, check out the unit price of items as compared to the overall cost. For example, comparing per ounce pricing of various granolas can aid you in getting the largest volume at the lowest cost, which is typically hard to do with packaging varying so drastically Finally, most grocery stores allow and encourage customers to divide produce, such as heads of broccoli, into only what you need so long as it doesn't say "by the bunch" or "per each."

The Difference Between Appetite and Hunger
 
Hunger is the body’s physical signal to eat to maintain the energy you need to fuel your day. Hunger signals can come in a variety of forms from a growling of the stomach to a headache. Appetite is more about a desire to eat. Appetite can be stimulated from hunger, but it can also be prompted by environmental or emotional circumstances. Satisfying both hunger and appetite is important to improve signals of satiety, or the feeling of fullness.

Heart Healthy Meal Prep
 
There are many ways to encourage heart healthy eating choices. One specific method is to include plant sterols as part of a healthy diet. Plant sterols can also be referred to as phytosterols, which can be naturally found in some vegetables and vegetable oils, fruit, nuts, and grain products. Phytosterols can help lower LDL Cholesterol, which we typically think of as the “bad” cholesterol. Specific foods containing plant sterols include pistachios, macadamia nuts, olive oil, almond butter, sesame seeds and sesame oil.
