12 Ways To Stay Healthy On A Budget

Posted Feb 07 2012 7:37am

12 ways to stay healthy on a budget

1) Work out at home instead of the gym. There are plenty of exercises you can do without equipment , you can walk, run, run up and down the stairs, do yoga…use your imagination.

2) Prepare food at home. It’s cheaper and healthier!

3) Sign up for coupons (yes there are some sites that offer coupons for organic, natural healthy foods! — organicdeals.com and savingnaturally.com are two of my favs)

4) Check out Craigslist or local ads for used exercise equipment. I just got a treadmill for $60!

5) Get a Gold Card from GNC and save 20% (I’ve saved LOTS using mine)

6) Make your own cleaning supplies (you’d be amazed what some vinegar and baking soda with a bit of essential oils can do). There are too many recipes to post all here but search “homemade cleaning supplies”. Here’s one link that has some basics, for cheap non-toxic cleaning .

7) Buy in bulk. Whole grains, pastas, dried fruits, nuts, seeds can be purchased in bulk for a savings.

8 ) Buy from local farmers markets, fruit stands. Visit localharvest.org to find these in your area.

9) Spend time in prayer, meditation daily. It’s free! and good for the soul & spirit (remember this blog is about Balancing healthy body, mind and soul)

10) Want to work out to a new dvd? Check your local library or if you already have NetFlix, they have some good yoga and workouts on there now too.

11) Drink water instead of soda. If you get bored or don’t like the taste of plain water, jazz it up with some fruit in it.

12) Use organic coconut oil for cooking, and doubles as a great body moisturizer and hair conditioner too!
