Increase your water intake to 1/2 your body weight in oz. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables with minimal cooking. Overcooking will kill the good nutrients. Beans, brown rice and lentils are really good and inexpensive if cooked yourself (throw in a couple of bay leaves while beans and lentils are cooking and it gives great flavor). Nuts and seeds are loaded with nutrients, just make sure they are raw. Braggs Liquid Amino Acids is great for seasoning food. Adding raw pistachios and almonds with dried fruit (unsulphered and no added sugar) to a salad is very filling. Salt is very important to your diet, but it needs to be sea salt with minerals in it. If it is white it is refined and not good for you even if it says it is sea salt. Eating healthy can be very overwhelming at first, but in time gets easier. A good movie to watch is Food, Inc. It reveals where the food comes from and will help you make better decisions when buying food. Hope this helps a little.
