Is Healthy Living Expensive? (Blogtober Day 4)

Hello world!

I was listening to the radio last week and it was about the report of the rate of cardiovascular diseases in the country. The rate at which cardiovascular diseases is increasing saddens me. I had so many questions in my mind and I wanted to ask

-What do people eat nowadays?

-Are people not exercising well? Because I see people “jogging” every dawn.

-Is healthy living expensive?

Have we ever ask ourselves, why the rate of diseases is increasing?

Maybe healthy living is expensive??? Have you ever thought of that?

Take for instance, you want to live healthily. What do you do?👇

-You want to stay fit, so you decided to be hitting the gym. You need to pay for gym membership.

-You need to buy fruits and vegetables regularly, so you spend money to buy more of them.

-Some buy supplements (which is usually not compulsory to live healthily.

These and many other reasons are why you think living healthily is expensive.

What if you don’t have enough money but you are hungry. What do you do?

You go to a food vendor to buy a bowl of rice without meat or any other form of protein. What are you lacking here?

Anyway, before we weigh the two, tell me which one is more expensive.

Investing in healthy living or living unhealthily which results in all sorts of expensive medical problems and treatment?

Let me show you three simple ways to live with the goal of being healthy without breaking the bank.

Use the internet to workout

On the internet, we have so many workout resources that you can follow. Working out in a gym is not a bad idea, but if you don’t have the money, don’t stress yourself.

Buy wholesale/bulk

I will write a post about grocery shopping soon but in the meantime, buy in bulk. This is a cheaper way of buying healthy foods. Buy at wholesale price and you might be saving a lot of money.

Plan your meal

If you plan your meals weekly, you know your impulse buying of junk food will decrease.
