Eating Healthy On A Budget

Eating healthy isn’t as expensive as you think.  In fact, when you consider doctor bills to treat high blood pressure form eating too much salt, high cholesterol from eating too much fat and obesity from eating too much bad food, you are saving more than money when you eat healthy.

When you shop in season for produce, you can get fresh fruits and vegetables at a great cost.  So don’t buy blueberries in the winter, try another berry such as the raspberry.  In fall, try squashes.  And onions, garlic and celery are always in season and cheap.  Did you know that eating celery burns more calories than it adds?  The reason is that celery has little to no calories and is mostly water.  Your needs fuel for digesting it and therefore burns fat reserves.

Frozen fruits and vegetables are flash frozen and retain their nutrients in addition to their taste.  Not the soggy vegetables and fruits of yesteryear, try stocking up on your favorites.  Frozen blueberries pack a huge punch with antioxidants and can be bought frozen year round.
