As you can tell, most of what is suggested here are fruits and vegetables. This is pretty obvious, but do keep in mind that many meats are also o.k. to consume, although most aren't considered 'snack' foods.
When it comes to breads, please consume sparingly if you want to avoid weight gain as you age:
Dr.Wallach suggests no:
Wheat
Barley
Rye
Also, decreasing refined sugars and general consumption of consumer sweets is important, as we have discussed many times.
Avoid soda. If you can't cut out soft drinks altogether, at least limit them to occasional consumption. Regular intake of sugary drinks is a major impediment to healthy living.
Hopefully this can help some to find a healthy alternative to typical snacks, have an excellent day :)
