Hi, this is Rachael Richardson with Nutrolution in South Beach, Miami, Florida. In this clip we're going to talk about how to eat organic on a budget. Now some people think that organic eating is price prohibitive, and I definitely agree that it's more expensive than eating inorganically, however keep in mind that when you choose the right quality foods, your body chemistry adjusts, and the quantity that you need actually goes down. So that's one thing to keep in mind. But in some practical terms, if you stick to the whole foods, things like brown rice and beans and lentils and quinoa, as well as eggs and your vegetables, choosing your less expensive onions and carrots and tomatoes and lettuce and spinach and these kind of vegetables, and you choose frozen organic fruits which are usually less expensive, you can really do very well eating fully organically. Another tip to keep in mind is that the most important foods that you eat organic are the ones that have the most exposure to pesticides and hormones. So keeping very at the top of your list of organic eating as well as when it comes to produce, things like berries, and peppers which get sprayed very heavily, versus a cantaloupe which has a very thick skin where you might be able to afford to go for a normal produce on that and not go organic. So here's just a little clip of some of the beans and other things that you can save money on by fortifying your diet with organically. This is Rachael Richardson, and this has been how to eat organically on a budget.
