How to eat well on a budget

2 55

When times are tough, nutrition is often not a priority. A balanced diet is a privilege for a peaceful life if you have the energy, time and money to cook and buy good food. What if those resources aren't available?

What is a balanced diet?

Balanced diet

Includes essential nutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrates, fibre) and complementary nutrients (vitamins and minerals). You can use the rule of thumb to easily navigate the nutrients. It is a representation of an ideal meal where 0.5 is vegetables, 0.25 is side dishes, 0.25 is meat, fish, poultry. I'm not a particular fan of hard to find superfoods, I believe you can and should learn a decent diet from what is available in a store near your home. I think coconut sugar is optional, but it would be good to expand your food basket in general.

We don't realize that we tend to follow the same route to the grocery store and buy the same items. I suggest you look around: what else can you add? When it comes to fruit, don't just choose bananas and apples, but seasonal fruit as well. It's healthy and more economical. When it comes to vegetables, it's not just tomatoes and cucumbers. White cabbage, red cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, beetroot, corn, peas. The more foods you eat, the more nutrients you get into your body.

Be healthy and eat right. What to do in such cases?
