Healthy Food Choices

Just as a concrete barrier would block your path while driving along a road, a variety of physical and mental barriers can block your path when you're attempting to make healthy changes in your life. Once you identify your barriers, you can develop strategies to overcome them and get back on track to a healthier lifestyle. Cost
It’s a common misconception that a healthy lifestyle has to be expensive. While gym memberships and organic foods can quickly empty your pockets, there are plenty of inexpensive options available. Free exercise ideas include running or walking outdoors and developing an exercise routine to do at home. Many effective exercises -- like squats, push-ups, jumping jacks and triceps dips -- require no special equipment or training. Food is a different story, since you have to spend at least a little money to acquire it. If possible, grow a small garden at home. Save money at the grocery store by buying fruits and vegetables only when they are in season. During the off-season, rely on frozen varieties.
