Healthy living is a goal that sounds nice in theory, but sometimes, it just feels too big and overwhelming. The reality is that Healthy living doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Instead of spending lots of time and money on big Health goals that are hard to stick with, try these simple health strategies that are affordable and easy to do every day.
Be a Savvy Shopper
Whatever your health needs are, the ultimate goal is to make healthy choices a way of life. But let’s face it — when we set new health goals but don’t have the tools we need to achieve them, it’s easy to slide back to our old ways.
Sometimes, this means investing in the right gear so it’s easier to say “yes” to the action. One of the best ways to get everything you need without spending a lot is to look for deals like Groupon coupons. The great thing about these deal sites is that they have discounts on the gear you need, like exercise equipment, but they also have specials on services like gym memberships, meal delivery, holistic wellness centers, and even registration for races.
Get Fit for Less
If you already have a gym membership, make the most of your time there to get your money’s worth. If you aren’t yet a member, shop around for a gym that has extra benefits like sign-up specials, free childcare or free personal training.
When you can get a gym membership at the right price, it’s a great resource to have, but joining a gym isn’t the only way to exercise. Lots of people enjoy online workouts or using public spaces such as a park or local track. If you need a little extra motivation, the Huffington Post suggests getting outdoors to be active or taking a class. Many studios offer drop-in classes so you don’t have to commit to a full membership. If you find something you absolutely love, ask if they have packages that reduce the cost per class.
Rethink Nutrition
If you truly want to eat healthier, try thinking of food in terms of what fuels your body, rather than focusing on “bad” foods to avoid. The best way to do this is by adding nutrient-rich foods to your diet, along with a bioavailable daily multivitamin so you give your body what it needs for maximum health.
Some people worry that healthy eating is too expensive, but eating nutritious foods really can be as affordable as fast food when you have the right shopping strategies. For example, many fresh fruits and vegetables are less expensive to buy when they’re in season. Fresh, seasonal produce is often more affordable from your local farmer’s market.
Even when fresh produce isn’t in season, there are other ways you can make healthy eating both easy and affordable year-round. First of all, keep your kitchen stocked with inexpensive staples like grains, olive oil, vinegar, and spices. Keeping these things on hand makes it much easier to prepare a quick, healthy meal rather than resorting to takeout. In addition to stocking your pantry, Simply Sissom recommends stocking your freezer with fruits and vegetables, and when you have time, prepare healthy meals in bulk.
Don’t Neglect Emotional Health
So much of the time we focus on physical health without giving much thought to emotional health. Caring for your emotional health is just as important, though, and it’s a strategy that should be part of your daily routine. There are countless ways to boost happiness and lower stress that are inexpensive or absolutely free. Some of our favorite tips from Mint Notion include sipping herbal tea, savoring your meals, and finding time for a hobby (or trying a new one).
Whatever new hobby or food you try, the key to reaching all health goals is to eliminate the barriers. For most people, the top barriers are time and money. This is why we can all be more successful with these smaller health strategies that are affordable and easy to do every day.
