With the present situation of the economy, a lot of us are seeking ways to save money. Regrettably, we may be searching in all the wrong places.
Scrimping and saving by putting off doctor’s visits? Not filling that prescription because it costs too much? Letting your gym membership lapse? Any one of those decisions could end up costing you dearly in the long run.
Fortunately, there are lots of affordable and effective ways to stay with a healthy lifestyle even in the presence of a sick economy.
Can’t meet the expense of that pricey gym membership?
That’s no justification for becoming inactive. You don’t have to go to a gymnasium to get the wide range of health profits of exercise.

Below are some dietaries that can keep you in shape and healthy even when you don’t have much.
Beans: These are great low-calorie means of fiber and protein. And they cost less a serving, especially if you buy dried beans and soak them yourself. Add beans to pasta, your home-made bread. Or serve them seasoned with your favorite spices.
Peanuts: Opulent in protein and heart-friendly oils, peanuts are a relatively low-cost and filling snack. The lowest priced peanuts are typically found in the bulk food axle.
Homemade breakfast cereal: Instead of buying an expensive packaged cereal, make your own by combining whole oats and other grains, raisins, nuts and seeds bought in bulk.
Home Made Beverages: Conserve cash by avoiding expensive bottled beverages and produce your own by brewing up tea for iced tea or adding a splash of fruit juice to carbonated water.
Frozen vegetables: If fresh veggies are too costly, move towards the freezer aisle. Because vegetables are flash freezing soon after being harvested, they may contain higher levels of antioxidants than fresh vegetables that are a day or two old.
Another option: Grow your own vegetables. More people are gardening, which not only offers a yield of healthy foods but also a way to stay fit.
Cooking instead of eating out is another way to conserve cash and remain healthy, most especially when you skip processed foods and cook from scratch. Home-cooked meals are more likely to be lower in fat and salt than restaurant offerings. Surveys show that people who eat at home are less likely to be overweight or obese.
