.
I WAS ABLE TO FIND THIS AT
THE CONVENIENCE STORE AND ONE
OF THEM BEING WHOLE ALMONDS.
GREAT CHOICE.
HIGH IN PRETEEN AND FRESH
FRUIT.
THEY ARE OFFERING FRESH FRIEWTH
AND VEGETABLES TO GO.
AND THEN I THREW IN A NUT AND
FRUIT BAR.
AND I PICKED THIS ONE MAINLY
BECAUSE IT IS FOUR TO SIX
INGREDIENTS IN IT.
SO, IT IS NOT PROCESSED.
AND I KNOW IT IS NOT AS FUN TO
REACH FOR THE BANANA.
AND IF YOU CAN SWITCH IT OUT
ONCE.
IT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
EXACTLY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING
IN.
AND WE WILL VISIT WITH YOU
AGAIN AT SIX.
IT IS THE TIME OF YEAR WHERE
WE ARE TAKING ROAD TRIPS AND
THE GAS STATION IS WHERE WE
FILL UP FOR NOT ONLY FUEL BUT
FOR THE FOOD, TOO.
WE ARE LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW
AND SPEAKING OF ON THE ROAD.
SUMMER, IT IS ROAD TRIP SEASON
AND OFTEN LEAD TO GRABBING
QUICK SNACKS AT THE GAS STATION
AND WE KNOW WHAT IS CONVENIENT.
NOT THE MOST UNHEALTHY.
WE HAVE EMILY, REGENTS HOSPITAL
SPECIALIST HERE.
AND DISCUSS WHICH SNACKS ARE
THE BEST CHOICE AND WHICH MIGHT
SEEM HEALTHY AND PROBABLY
AREN'T.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING
IN.
AND THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
WE START WITH THE OBVIOUS.
WE HAVE THIS SECTION OVER HERE.
SEE SOME REESE'S AND CRACKERS
WITH CHEESE AND MIGHT BE
TEMPTING TO GRAB THIS.
WE KNOW IT IS NOT THE BEST
FOR US THOUGH.
IN THAT CATEGORY, WE FIND A
LOT OF PROCESSED GRAINAND A LOT
OF THE NUTRITION STRIPPED AWAY
FROM THE ITEMS AND LEAVE YOU
WANTING TO GRAB SOMETHING
SOONER THAN LATER WHICH IS WHAT
WE WANT TO AVOID.
ON THE ROAD.
YOU DON'T WANT TO KEEP
STOPPING.
IT IS SOMETHING MORE
FULFILLING AND SUSTAINING.
YOU BROUGHT IN WHAT SEEMED
LIKE HEALTHIER OPTIONS AND WE
HAVE POPCORN AND TRAIL MIX.
AND YOU SAY THAT THIS IS
ACTUALLY DECEIVINGLY UNHEALTHY.
YES.
SO, WHILE POPCORN IS AN
AWESOME SNACK MOST OF THE TIME.
THIS ONE IS FLAVORED.
AND WHAT YOU ARE GETTING IS A
LOT OF EXTRA ADDED SALT.
SUGAR.
A LOT OF EXTREME INGREDIENTS
YOU WOULDN'T GET WITH POPCORN.
OIL AND VAULT.
IT IS-DRN OIL AND SALT.
IT IS NOT BAD.
PICKY.
WATCH THE FLAVORS.
TRAIL MIX.
YOU WILL TAKE AWAY MY TRAIL
MIX.
IT IS NOT THE WORSE OPTION.
AND THERE ARE RAISINS IN IT AND
WHAT YOU ARE GETTING WITH THIS
ONE AND CHECK THE INGREDIENT
LIST.
IT IS A LOT OF EXTRA SUGAR AND
SALT.
THIS ONE IS SALTED AND EXTRA
CANDY.
AND WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR IT.
MAYBE IN MODERATION.
IT IS SORT OF OPTIONS.
THEN, OF COURSE, THERE ARE
SOME BETTER THINGS AT THE GAS
STATION.
YES.
I PICKED OUT HEALTHY.
MORE WHOLESOME FOOD ITEMS AND
WE HAVE WHOLE ALMONDS WHICH ARE
A GREAT SNACK AND FRESH FRUIT.
MORE CONVENIENCE STORES ARE
OFFERING FRESH OPTIONS AND GRAB
AND GO SECTIONS AND BROUGHT IN
A FRUIT AND NUT BAR.
SOMETHING THAT HAS MINIMAL
INGREDIENTS.
LOW IN SUGAR.
WHEN YOU GO TO A GAS STATION
NOW.
YOU SEE ALL THESE GRANOLA BARS.
THERE IS AN ENTIRE AISLE AND IT
CAN BE TOUGH TO MAKE A DECISION
OF WHICH ONE YOU GO FOR AND
WHAT SHOULD BE AND THINGS YOU
LOOK AT.
AND BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS
FLIP THE ITEM OVER AND LOOK AT
THE INGREDIENT LIST.
THEY ARE LISTED BY WEIGHT
AND YOU KNOW THE MAJORITY OF
THE FOOD ITEM IS MADE FROM
SUGAR.
YOU WANT TO AVOID THAT.
AND THEY WANT TO BE OFF THE
LIST OR LOWER ON THE LIST.
SO, LOOK AT THE VERY FIRST
INGREDIENT.
THESE ARE ALL GREAT IDEAS
YOU HAVE FOR US.
AND, OF COURSE, YOU CAN INDULGE
IF YOU WANT TO GO FOR THE
REESE'S AND EVERYTHING IN
