The Price of Good Health

  Lately I've noticed a lot of people complaining that it's too expensive to eat right. I do agree that some healthier foods cost more, but there are strategies for eating well on a budget. 
-Shop sales and buy canned and frozen produce to save money. Freeze extra foods to use later.

-Try planting a small garden. Tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, and cantaloupes are some of the easiest fruits and vegetables to grow. They can even be grown in flower pots on a porch or balcony.

-Cook at home more often. Eating out, even at fast food restaurants, can get really expensive, and there are no leftovers for convenient meals or lunch boxes later. Even something simple like making a sandwich at home will be less expensive than going out.

  Basically, good nutrition is an investment in your health that's important for the prevention of chronic diseases like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. It does require some time, money, and planning, but the benefits are worth it for you and your family. Spend a little extra time today preparing healthy foods at home, and enjoy the feeling of better health. How much is good health worth to you?
