Healthy Foods on a Budget

In these days of banking closure, foreclosure and unemployment of more than 10%, it is not easy to buy healthy food. Foods listed as organic or with Healthy Foods on a Budget additives are usually 2 times more expensive than the same unhealthy items. Paranoid to me wants to say that that is a conspiracy - a lot of cheap unhealthy foods that weaken and make us sick so that we have expensive procedures in hospitals and buy a lot of drugs that do not make us better and sometimes. the sick. But still ...

Healthy eating does not always have to be expensive and out of reach on a regular budget. Some simple things you can do to buy a large amount of seasonal fruit and vegetables and stop over. Frozen fruits and vegetables are as nutritious as they are fresh as long as they are frozen as soon as possible after harvest. Use them off-season in soups and smoothies if they are too expensive or unavailable.

If you have a window in the sun, you can plant herbs in pots and use them as needed. Herbs like basil and parsley taste better fresh than dried and much cheaper. Always be on the lookout for product coupons (especially online coupon sites) and for sale at healthy food stores and also to save (cool) excess. If you are unsure how to store different items, Ball and Ball co. (the makers of those glass jars) are selling a book called Ball Blue Book. This book has instructions on how to store almost any food you can think of, using many methods including freezing and drying. Also, you can find good prices in bulk stores, such as Costco, Sam's or BJ's.

Here are 5 tips for healthy eating for you, improve your whole life but not break the bank:

1. Grain

Grains such as oatmeal, barley and quinoa (keen-wa) are high in fiber, protein, and other nutrients. Fiber helps control blood sugar and removes fat from your system. Protein helps maintain muscle mass. You can use oatmeal as a healthy and nutritious breakfast and barley is good for soups and stews while quinoa makes a delicious and high-quality substitute for rice fiber.

2. Beans

And high in fiber and protein, beans can be part of any home lunch and dinner. There are many varieties available, red, black, navy, garbanzo and kidney beans. Less expensive are the dried varieties. When cooking use healthy fats such as olive oil or canola and when using meat make it low in fat and salty meat.

3. Eggs

A great source of high quality protein, eggs are an inexpensive option over meat. They also contain antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin, which help keep the eyes healthy. If you have high cholesterol, keep it at one or two eggs a day.

4. Fish

Canned fish such as tuna, salmon and anchovies are a great source of omega 3 fats that have been shown to improve heart health and arthritis, reduce the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's, reduce depression and lower blood pressure. All three of the fish mentioned when added to olive oil or spring water provide high levels of protein and omega-3 fats without adding unwanted fat or salt to your diet.

5. Milk

Low-fat milk, cottage cheese, and low-fat yoghurt are all high in protein, calcium and vitamins, especially vitamin D. chronic pain, seasonal affective disease, VLDL triglycerides, peripheral artery disease, and several independent diseases including type 1 diabetes. Buy wholesale cottage cheese and yoghurt. Make sure you get a simple, flavorful variety high with unnecessary and unhealthy sugars and high fructose corn syrup. If the flavors do not taste good you cut and add fruits such as strawberries or peaches to heal and improve your health and well-being.
