Simple Ways to Eat Healthy on a Budget ...
Unfortunately, the rising food prices make it hard to eat healthy. Your paycheck is most likely not rising as fast. Worst case you’re student which makes it even harder. These 10 tips will help you eat healthy on a budget.
1.
Buy Whole Foods. Unprocessed foods are cheaper and more nutritious than
processed foods. They also give you total control over the ingredients. Avoid
anything that comes from a box 90% of the time.
2. Buy Cheap Proteins. You need 1g protein per
pound of body-weight per day to build and maintain muscle. Eating whole protein
with each meal also helps fat loss as protein has a higher thermic effect than
other foods. Keep the steaks & salmon for special occasions. Buy eggs, milk,
whey, mackerel, tuna, calves liver, frozen chicken breast, cottage cheese, …
3.
Buy Generic Food. And store brands. Raw foods like rice, pasta, eggs, milk,
cottage cheese, frozen fruits/veggies, …
4.
Buy Supplements. They’re cheap and make your life easier, however whole food is
better. You can use supplements, but make sure the bulk of your diet consists
of whole, unprocessed foods.
5.
Buy in Bulk. Especially when you have promos running. Foods like pasta, rice
and oats are easy to stockpile. If they’re on sale, buy as much as you can
afford & store to last you until the next sale.
6.
Buy In Season Fruits & Veggies. Food grown in season tastes better and is
cheaper. Root vegetables in the Winter. Apples & squash in the Fall.
Broccoli & berries in the Summer. To know the season of veggies and fruits check this article: Fruits & Veggies: When are they in season ?
Tips To Survive When You’re Sleepy at Work ! Easy as 1,2,3 ...
1. Get moving
Do some stretches or walk around. Stay away from your computer for a while. If you work from home, it’s nice to get out of your home office and breath some fresh air. Then come back again when you feel rejuvenated. You can also do some stretches. This way, you’re waking up your body and it gets you ready for the tasks ahead.
Sitting all day is not healthy and encourages drowsiness. If you’re not used to physical exercises, small movements or stretches can give you an energy boost.
2. Watch what you eat
There are some foods that help you sleep. Be wary of the times you eat these. Also, don’t overeat during lunch as this tends to make you feel sleepy after lunch. Finish your meal as soon as you feel satisfied. Eating until you’re fully stuffed is not only unhealthy but it induces sleepiness.
3. Toothpaste with peppermint
Brush your teeth with peppermint toothpaste. Peppermint is a natural stimulant which makes you stay alert.
Benefits of Honey Water !
The sugar in honey is a natural sugar, which provides a healthy source of calories. Not only that, it can help to ward off any sugary sweet beverage cravings you may have.
Drinking a warm glass of water with honey first thing in the morning helps to improve your digestive system. The antiseptic benefits of honey help relieve the acidity in your stomach while increasing the production of intestinal mucus. By using raw, local honey you help to acclimate your body to the pollens of your area.

5 Essential Steps To Reduce Your Anxiety
1. Eliminate or reduce your coffee consumption.
I know, it sucks! And many of you don’t like hearing it, but coffee was the number one thing that exacerbated my feelings of anxiety and worry on a daily basis. Reducing my coffee intake to one cup per day or none at all has helped me enormously in feeling calmer, more relaxed, and less antsy and wired. If you like having something warm, try herbal teas.
2. Avoid (excess) sugar and refined, empty carbs.
Sugar and "white carbs" can put you on a constant blood sugar roller coaster. You experience temporary relief, or a “high,” followed by an irritable and anxious low. Sugar is highly addictive, and it can be hard to ditch your sugar habits. However, balancing your blood sugar is key in order to maintain a calm, even, and resilient mindset.
3. Stop comparing yourself to others.
Chronically comparing yourself to other people will keep you from ever feeling good about yourself. What you see on the outside is very misleading and doesn’t accurately reflect other people’s real lives and emotional well-being. Self-comparison is based on comparing your own reality with the idealized illusions you form about someone else’s life. It’s not a fair comparison and won’t lead you to happiness or better decision-making. It’s also easy to slip into victimizing yourself and believing you've been dealt bad cards, which is simply not true and actually brings you further away from feeling empowered to create a life you love. Focus on yourself, your own process, and what feels right for you.
4. Re-evaluate your expectations.
Are you really not worth anything because your thighs touch and your stomach isn’t flat? Are you really a failure because you didn’t get that one job two years ago? Do you really not deserve the attention of someone amazing and caring? Telling yourself that you're only worthy if you're perfect creates expectations that you will never be able to meet. You will chronically feel behind, “not ready,” or not good enough. Nothing creates more anxiety than the feeling that what you really desire is out of your reach.
5. Practice mindfulness.
Mindfulness is based on the art of perceiving and simply experiencing instead of on passing judgment. Being aware of your thoughts and feelings as they are true for you requires both practice and patience. The truth is that most of us aren’t very in tune with what’s going on for us, because our attention is constantly focused on external perceptions.
