  5 - Saving Money and Eating Organic

  Now that you have recipes of organic food, the next step is to know how to adjust your lifestyle as you open up to this new healthy opportunity.

  Going organic and eating healthier are best done in a holistic approach. Your new meal choices come with changes in your overall lifestyle, from shopping to managing your expenses. “Organic” is not just food but a lifestyle as well.

  Going organic doesn’t have to be a burden on your wallet. In fact, there are various ways to follow an organic diet and live an organic lifestyle while cutting down on costs effectively.

  Minimalism is the key. There are a growing number of people who promote a minimalist yet healthy lifestyle. This means that while they go all-out in their health and the food choices they make, they are also conscious of their other purchases. A minimalist lifestyle aims to focus on the essentials rather than what convention and consumerism dictate. For instance, instead of spending some bucks on soda that are clearly not good for you, you could have allotted that money to upgrade your usual food purchase to a better-quality, organic one.

  Going organic is really all about prioritizing and knowing the best sources of food.

  Here are ways on how you can cut down on costs and save money while eating organic food and living a healthier life:

  Buy from farmer’s markets. The rule of thumb in making your organic purchases is to get them from the source, or at least as close to the source as possible. More and more farmer’s markets are emerging nowadays due to the increasing demand for healthier food choices. Not only is it cheaper to buy directly from the source, it also guarantees fresh produce. Organic food and products are not cultivated with any artificial supplements, chemicals, and preservatives, so buying them fresh is the best way to go. Farmer’s markets and exhibits often have regular schedules in town, so be sure to update yourself.

  Join groups or communities specializing on organic food. If you are just starting to transition to an organic food diet, there’s a need to do some research and reading about this type of lifestyle. The overflow of information you may encounter can be a bit overwhelming, which might eventually result to confusion and demotivation. The best way to help you familiarize yourself with the organic lifestyle is to join a community or group advocating and specializing on this. There are a variety of such groups and communities both online and offline. Online groups are all over the internet, so make sure to join one that suits you best and if possible, most relevant to your location. Eating habits, produce, and the general culture vary from one place to another, so picking a community or group that jives with your context will thoroughly help you in adjusting to an organic lifestyle. Joining such groups will help keep you updated on events and trade fairs, farmer’s markets, organic food bazaars and exhibits, and even workshops and seminars that can provide more information on organic food and lifestyle. The added information and resources you can get out of joining these groups can help you save money while staying true to an organic diet and lifestyle.

  Grow your own food. The best way to make sure that your food is uncontaminated, pure, and organic is to grow it yourself. Why not grow your own vegetables and fruit? You don’t need to have hectares of land to create a vegetable garden. A small patch in your backyard is enough. Better yet, trends such as vertical farming and gardening are sprouting in urban locations. Vertical gardening makes the most out of limited space by utilizing gardening pots or recycled materials and arranging them vertically, much like a hanging garden. This is particularly suitable for people living in small spaces or apartments. Quite a number of organic gardening resources are available online, complete with videos and step-by-step guides. Growing your own food is a much cheaper option compared to purchasing them. It also assures you that what you eat was grown without the use of any harmful pesticides and chemicals.

  Learn to make food and ingredients from scratch. You might go organic in your food choices, but keep in mind that this also includes choosing organic ingredients. Much of the ingredients used in conventional food preparation contain harmful properties. It’s convenient to buy things like packaged white bread in a supermarket, but in fact, most of these are made with bleached flour. Most types of conventionally-produced bread also contain synthetic vitamins. The effects of eating this can be detrimental to your health in the long run. The best way is to really go organic in your food choices. However, buying certain organic food products and ingredients can be costly, especially those that are only available in specialty stores and whole food shops. To cut down on expenses, learn how to make some ingredients from scratch. For instance, home-made bread is something you can try making, and this only requires a few ingredients and an oven. Also, instead of buying packs of organic pasta, why not make your own from raw ingredients? There are variations of sun-dried pasta that you can make at home. Don’t be afraid to experiment and try out different recipes.

  Be creative with leftovers. Organic food preparation is all about creativity and resourcefulness. There may be times when food is left over and refrigerated, and sometimes forgotten. Before you throw away those untouched leftovers, why not save them for another meal? The beauty of organic food is that there are no limits to food and recipe possibilities. Always be on the lookout for ways to maximize leftovers and organic ingredients which you have lying around your kitchen. This also applies to fruits and vegetables. If certain fruits have gone a bit overripe, why not make them into a smoothie? Meanwhile, vegetables past their period of freshness can be used to concoct green juices. There are so many ways to make the most out
of what you have in your fridge and in your cupboard. Simply be open to trying out new ideas and methods, and you will no doubt save money while eating a healthy, organic diet and living a full, happy life.

  Enjoy Going Organic

  As mentioned, going organic is a holistic experience that not only affects your eating habits but your overall lifestyle as well. This holistic approach comes with an open, positive attitude towards food, health, and purchasing practices.

  Living a minimalist life, or at least one that focuses on the essentials, will no doubt result to better health and more savings. Saving money is just one of the many benefits you can get from going minimal on unnecessary purchases and prioritizing healthy ones, such as organic food.

  Most importantly, don’t forget to enjoy the experience of going organic. Some people think of it as a chore; a requirement they need to fulfill to acquire a sexier or fit body and to stay away from disease. Though there is no problem with that, there’s really more to organic food than meets the eye. Going organic means you care not only for yourself, but also for the environment, and for a better life for everyone. The benefits of eating organic food and products are not only reflected upon you, but to the rest of the community as well.

  Going organic supports local farmers, shop owners, and local businesses. Going organic is great for the environment because its production does not involve harmful chemicals that in turn get broken down back unto the earth. Going organic is the way to go.

  Enjoy your organic lifestyle and its benefits as you contribute to the world in a positive way!

  1 – DASH Diet Basics

  There are plenty of fad diets around that promise to help you achieve healthy weight loss but how many of them can really help you lose weight in a healthy manner? What difference does the DASH diet make?

  DASH means Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. This diet plan is a result of a study conducted by the National Institutes of Health in collaboration with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and top medical research centers from all over the country.

  Because of the growing problem of hypertension not only in the United States but all over the world, these health institutions collaborated in an effort to find a solution. They found that diet is extremely important in controlling blood pressure, specifically a diet rich in magnesium, potassium and calcium. The DASH diet has these elements through its whole grain, vegetables, fruits and low-fat dairy meal plan.

  Benefits of Dash Diet

  The results of the NHLBI study showed an improvement in blood pressure within just two weeks of following the diet plan. The study participants also experienced an improvement in their systolic blood pressure over time. As a result of controlled blood pressure, the DASH diet also helps reduce your risk to other health conditions. It can protect you against stroke, cancer, heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis.

  Although the DASH diet was originally meant for controlling blood pressure, it is also good for weight loss. With the increased consumption of fiber-rich foods and lower fat, sodium and calorie intake, you can expect to lose weight in a healthy and safe way. The DASH diet is an overall healthy eating plan that promotes overall wellness.

  Who should follow the DASH Diet?

  This legitimate diet is not just meant for people dealing with high blood pressure. It is for every individual who wants to have a healthy balanced diet. If you want to keep your blood pressure under control, protect yourself against diseases and lose a good amount of weight you can easily maintain, then this is the diet plan you should follow. It is promoted by the USDA as the ideal eating plan.

  So are you ready to be in your best shape and health? Are you ready to make a big move towards healthy eating? Read further to find out how.

  2 – Acceptable Foods and Portions

  Because the DASH diet focuses on low saturated fat and low cholesterol foods, you are encouraged to consume vegetables, fruits, dairy and whole grains. Fish, poultry and legumes are also
recommended. You may also have some fat, red meat and sweets but only in small quantities. Based on a 2,000 calorie diet, here’s what you should strive to have on a daily basis.

  6 to 8 Servings of Whole Grains

  You may have all kinds of whole grains including bread, pasta, cereal and rice. So why do you have to go for whole grains rather than refined grains? It is simply because the latter does not have much fiber and nutrients to offer. Whole grains, on the other hand, are rich in nutritional components.

  If you plan to eat rice, then it is better to have the brown kind rather than the white. For pasta, you must always opt for the whole wheat kind. As for bread, you much choose the whole grain sort. As a general guide for food shopping, make sure to check on the label. Read it carefully and pick only the items that have the whole grain or whole wheat label.

  Now the question is how much is a serving size? Half a cup of pasta, cereal or rice is equivalent to one serving. A single slice of bread amounts to one serving. Remember, your limit is 6 to 8 servings of whole grains daily.

  4 to 5 Servings of Vegetables

  Vegetables can give you a good dose of vitamins and minerals including fiber, potassium and magnesium. Among the most recommended are broccoli, leafy greens, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and carrots.

  Be creative when preparing vegetables for your meals. Do not concentrate on making salads and side dishes. To meet the recommended serving of 4 to 5 vegetables a day, you must make a main dish out of them too. You can serve your vegetable main dish with brown rice and whole-wheat noodles for a complete meal. For instance, when you are preparing a stir-fry, you can double the amount of vegetables and reduce the meat portion.
