You Can Live Healthily And Save Money TooDear Reader,
These days we're all watching what we spend, cutting back (or out)
where we can. Luckily you can cut back on the costs of staying healthy
without
going back on your intentions to live well.
Eating healthily, being
physically active and getting regular healthcare are all still possible and
affordable
even on today's smaller, tighter budgets according to experts.
A spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association, Bethany Thayer,
herself a registered dietician, points out that eating healthy can
be done on a budget. You just need to plan carefully and shop smart.
Here are some superb savings tips:
- Make as much of your own food as you can from scratch - prepackaged
foods always cost more.
- Plan your trip to the supermarket armed with a detailed list and
a full stomach - never go in hungry or in a hurry.
- Enjoy seasonal foods when you can - but only buy as much as you
know you can eat before it spoils.
- Frozen or canned fruits and veggies last longer than the ones in
the crisper in your fridge so you can take advantage of sales and larger
sizes to stock up... and they taste yummy too.
- Use coupons - this can save you from 10-15% on your grocery bill.
- Think about portions, especially when it comes to meats. Your servings
should be the size of a deck of playing cards, so a package of chicken
breasts could be prepared at one time but used for two meals.
- Put leftovers away promptly so that there's no question they're
safe to eat again, and you won't be tempted to go back for seconds.
- Try less expensive foods for the nutrients you need. Beans are an
affordable source of protein and fiber, what's more there are many
varieties and you can use them lots of ways, hot or cold. Popcorn and
oatmeal are inexpensive grains, while nonfat dry milk is an affordable
source of dairy.
Exercise is another healthy lifestyle choice that can be done on a
budget.
While gym memberships might not be affordable anymore, you
can still be physically fit and active... you just need to be more
creative.
Any activity or body movement that causes you to expend energy
is good - running the stairs, gardening, a game of hoops in the
driveway - everyday things can do wonders to keep your body in shape.
According to Michael Esco, an exercise physiology instructor at Auburn
University Montgomery, other ways to stay physically fit without spending
a fortune include...
- Use what you have - a jumprope, a bike, even a dog can all be great
ways to get yourself up and moving on a regular basis. You don't have
to spend money. Use cans of veggies, bottles or jugs of water for your
strength training program.
- Buy a pedometer, as simply owning this under $20 device can have
you being more active. Studies found that subjects who wore them walked
an extra mile or two a day. Another option is a physioball (less than
$40) to help you do exercises like push ups, crunches and squats. If
you'd like a stationary bike, consider a bicycle trainer (about $100)
to turn your regular bike into stationery one.
- Simple exercises that use your own body weight - push-ups, sit-ups
and squats can be very effective.
Now that we've covered eating and exercising, we'll talk about the
one you think you can live without... regular health care.
The good news is that you can save on health care, but it's not by
skipping checkups and standard screenings.
Doctor's will tell you that
it's easier, and cheaper, to treat a health problem earlier as opposed
to later. These checkups, that do often carry co-pays, are the time
for your doctor to find, and be able to nip in the bud some costly
and potentially dangerous conditions. Screenings too allow things
to be caught early, before they become serious.
Here are some smart tips from Dr. Thomas J. Weida of the Penn State
College of Medicine's Department of Family and Community Medicine to
help you safely reduce what you spend on healthcare...
- Look at prescription medications and discuss with your doctor switching
to cheaper, but equally effective alternatives, or larger doses that
you can then tailor to your needs.
- Buy over the counter medications in bulk if you can, but be sure
you'll use them before the expiration date.

This Doctor Dropped 10 Sizes
- Discover Her Shocking Secret
There's an overwhelming body of research that shows most diets aren't effective
in the long term because they work AGAINST the body...
In fact most people who diet end up putting ON more weight than when they started.
It's because most diets deprive you of the foods you enjoy, stop you getting
the nutrients you need...basically forcing your body into 'starvation mode'...
Joy Siegrist MD developed a diet that works WITH your body...one that has a 96%
success rate.
And to prove it she used it to drop 10 dress sizes.

- Staying out of the emergency room makes sense on lots of levels, cost certainly
being one of them. In these situations you often end up having (and paying
for) tests your own doctor might not have ordered since he/she can follow you
more closely.
- Treat at home if you can, especially when it's a routine illness like a
cold or flu that's progressing as it has for you in the past. Call your doctor
if you feel worse or something different happens.
- Call the doctor's office with a question, as often the doctor of his/her
staff can help you over the phone, directing you to a good product to use or
what to do to help yourself feel better.
The encouraging news for anyone who wants to live a healthy lifestyle is that
no matter how tight your money is, there are always ways to stick to your goals... to
keep your body strong and healthy. Where there's a will, there's a way!
To your good health,
