SUPER FOODS THAT ARE MORE BENEFICIAL TO OUR HEALTH THAN THEIR HUNDRED DOLLAR COUNTERPARTS
It’s easy for writers to give us a list of healthy foods that are super beneficial and expect us to buy them. And I’m sure many of you out there wish it was just that simple. But the truth is healthy eating has never been more expensive. The prices of organic foods can be up to three times the amount and in stores anything ‘fresh’ whether it be a squeezed juice over a bottled one, costs more.
While there isn’t much we can do to lower food prices, what we can do is be clever and selective about our other beauty product purchases, and rather spend that money on beauty FOODS. You’ll find it’s a fraction of the price, and the results are significantly greater!
1. Save hundreds on a facial and kick back with a glass of red wine and a row of dark chocolate. You are actually doing more good than harm for your body. How often do you find yourself at a day spa? For some it’s once or twice a month, this is an expensive luxury that most can’t afford and the result is short lived. For a treat you can enjoy on a weekly basis that lets off the same endorphins and relaxation as a facial try dark chocolate with 70% COCOA or more, this provides the most antioxidants. My favourite is Green and Blacks or Lindt Excellent Dark. Combined with a glass of red, the two can reduce the amount of fatty chemicals you produce and help fight weight gain at a fraction of the price!
2. I'm sure you've heard by the now the wonders that GREEN TEA can preform? Save on diet pills and fat burner supplements that fill our bodies with chemicals and instead opt to buy a box of Green tea. Drink 1-5 cups a day and you will be burning calories and blocking fat absorption while preventing acne and breakouts. Bu-bye proactive and hello Green Tea! At under $4 for 100 bags, this is the cheapest, quickest and healthiest beauty trick that works better in aiding overall health and beauty than gimmick creams and supplements!
3. It seems every time I go the supermarket the price of BLUEBERRIES has increased. Today they’re selling for up to $14 per 125g and when we see these prices we freak – I definitely do. But when you walk into a store and purchase anti-ageing creams for over $100, take cholesterol pills, digestive pills, weight loss supplements and more, then $14 doesn’t seem so bad. The truth is these tiny little wonders work just the same and better. They fight cancer, are bursting with antioxidants that are great for healthy skin, hair and nails, lower cholesterol, prevent various diseases and promote weight loss! So ditch the hundreds of hair treatments and masks and spend $14 on overall wellbeing.
4. Fight stretch marks and tighten your skin by eating a handful of ALMONDS a day. Not only are they rich in protein thus fighting 4pm lethargy, they are good for your heart, brain, lower cholesterol and are rich in vitamins that promote hair growth and improve your overall complexion.
O!
