Cheap Way for Healthy
Diet
Eating a healthy lifestyle shouldn’t have to be expensive.
When we go to the grocery or visit healthy food store to buy healthy foods, for
sure there’s the idea that when it comes to “healthy”, we think of the latest
superfoods craze that are talk of the town which, are rather quite expensive.
But you can spend your hard earned cash properly without emptying your wallet just
for your diet alone. There are inexpensive healthy foods out there in the
market that you should consider to place it in your basket whenever you hit the
stores.
Include the following in the list.
Milk and other dairy products. These contains many nutrients
such as calcium, vitamins A and B12, carbohydrate, fat and protein.
Tofu. A good alternative to meat and a popular food to
vegetarians and vegans. It contains good source of protein and would not hurt
your pocket.
Oats. It has a good source of fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins
and minerals.
Brown rice. Brown rice is loaded with fiber, potassium, magnesium
and vitamin B so choose this one instead of white rice.
Eggs. Eggs are packed with protein which is essential to
muscle building and weight loss.
Seasonal Fruits. You can actually buy any fruits but why include
seasonal? Well you can’t always have certain fruits all the time. If it’s not
in season yet, expect the prices to go up and if it’s in season, it will
definitely have lower price. Buy them seasonally so they will be cheap.
Veggies. As for veggies, like fruits, there are some that
are seasonal, so always buy those when in season so it will not be expensive.
Also, consider purchasing a bag of frozen vegetables in the store over the
weekend and consume it all for a week. Frozen veggies are as good as fresh and
they come in variety to suit your needs. With a bag for a week, prepare for
portion sizes on your meals. If you’re not much into veggies, a bag of frozen
ones is a great way to improve your palate and diet. When it becomes a habit,
add another bag for a week for a gradual process.
Water. Remember the general rule of drinking at least eight
glasses of water? Always include H2O in your diet. It has zero calories
compared to diet sodas.
