Let me start off by saying
that I personally believe
food choices should not be
primarily made based off
price. There are many
things in life you can be
cheap with, but food
should not be one of them.
Proper nutrition should
not be seen as an option
but as mandatory.
Oftentimes I will get new
clients who say that they
focus on eating a low
protein diet because they
do not want to spend the
money on higher protein
options, or that they
cannot afford to get their
healthy fats in so instead
they get their fats from
fatty meats and
processed foods. This is
nowhere near the same
thing and making food
choices based off price
can affect not only the
way you look, but most
importantly your health.
Prioritizing health should
not be a personal matter
in my opinion but instead
a necessity that everyone
does. What does having
more money in the bank,
or fancier electronics
matter, if in the long run
you are deteriorating
your health?
Moral of this message is:
do not be cheap with
your food. No amount of
money in the bank can
come close to the joy
that good health brings.
In a perfect world, we
would all be able to
afford and have access to
organic, fresh food of the
highest quality. In reality
though, many of us
cannot afford that
because of other
responsibilities in life.
Things like having a roof
over our heads or being
able to pay for our gym
memberships can be
important in life too.
