Eating healthy “All Summer 16”
EATING HEALTHY IS EASY AND CHEAP!!!
There’s a misinterpretation that eating healthy is expensive and you need to be rich or have a good job to eat healthy.
$5 can get you:
-a supersized cheese burger meal from Jack in the box or five, $1 cheese burger to feed a family of 5.
OR, homemade, delicious, natural, healthy meals with huge proportions:
-fresh potato salad, serves a family of 4
-black bean stew, serves a family of 4
-ginger rice, serves a family of 4
The $5 spent for breakfast lunch and dinner could deplete ones budget pretty fast. Not only does a fast food diet not give nutrient or calcium needed to sustain a healthy productive lifestyle, it creates a slew of health problems like high blood pressure, clogged arteries to name a few. This could have devastating affects to you and your family in the long term.
What if I told you that you can eat healthy and get your calcium, nutrients,breakfast, lunch and dinner for $5 a day? That’s right, it can be done but it takes time and effort. There are simple recipes and ingredients that you use to stay within a five dollar budget per day. The food that you buy with $5 will give you three meals a day Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. This will eliminate bad eating and potentially save money. Would you try this method to save money and eat healthy?
