How to eat healthy without spending a lot I keep hearing that eating healthy is for the rich. But, eating well allows us to stay healthy and clear minded, saving costs to the doctor and for medications. And it’s not impossible to go healthy on a budget. Here are a few tips on buying healthy for less: • Buy what’s in season. Some of the health boosters now in season are blueberries, cherries, broccoli, asparagus, beets and watermelon. Check out State Seasonal Produce Guides for info on what is growing in your state. • Buy local. Save on shipping cost and help preserve a healthy environment. For a list of local farmers markets check out Local Harvest. • Buy whole foods, like whole grains and vegetables. Raw ingredients can make great simple meals, while processed food is less healthy and can be more costly. • Use the whole food. Buy the whole fish instead of fillets. Use veggie stems in smoothies or for stocks. Eat all parts of the broccoli. You can shave the outer edge of the broccoli stem and then cut it into strips to use for dips or just as a snack. • Cook at home. Not only is it cheaper, cooking at home allows you to know what’s in your food. Plus, the love and care that you put into your own nourishment, and the appreciation to the effort to make it, add layers of enjoyment to your meal. • Eat only what you need. Serve yourself in a small plate. Go back for seconds if needed. Don’t be tempted to eat from the pan or the package.
