Nowadays, we are living in world wherein people are so busy with their lives. Busy for work, for school, for the family, for love and many other reasons. Sometimes because of that they already forgot on how to make their life balance.
I am so relatable to that. When I was working, I always choose that unhealthy food because that's more convenient instead of cooking. I am tired from work and because of that I have no time to do exercise. When I have time, instead of taking a rest I choose to party and have fun. I thought it's fun before tho.
Not until I got pregnant and be stay at home mom. I learned to shift from unhealthy to healthy lifestyle as long as I can. As we grow older we want to stay healthy not just because for ourselves but because we want to live longer so that we can take good care of our kids and loveones. I also learned to take good care of my body and my mental health.
They say it's to expensive to be healthy because we are basing on what we saw on social media but believe me you don't need to spend a lot of money to healthy. It's more expensive when you got sick nowadays.
***So here's a simple Ways to Live a Balanced Life on a Budget. ***
1. Eat Simple but Nutritious Meals
Eat food and veggies if you can. You don't need to spend to much just to be healthy. Water spinach is very affordable but it's rich in Vitamin C, A and Iron. Same as Moringa that is rich in vitamins and minerals. Here in our province you can plants some on your backyard. There's so many ways to eat nutritious food on a budget.
2. Stay Active
You can do a brisk walk 1 hour a day. It's really effective I swear. Since I started to do brisk walk everyday my anxiety lessen and I rarely feel sick and feel strange on my body. You can also play YouTube exercise videos and do exercise in your home. You don't need to go to a gym to exercise. You don't need a branded shoes or gear to start.
3. Take Care of Your Mental Health
If you are exhausted you can rest. It's really fine. Don't push yourself to the limit. Sleep atleast 7 to 9 hours. Sleeping is very important on our being. Do what makes you happy because being happy can lessen your stress.
4. Drink More Water
I know it's sounds simple but it really helps our body to function properly.
*and lastly.. *
5.* ***Strengthen your faith. **
I just want to add this one. Just like what on Matthew 4:4 said : Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Our body needs a healthy food, our soul needs it too.
Final word:
Being healthy or choosing a healthy lifestyle or a balance life is not about being perfect and it's not about spending to much. We can choose to be healthy and make our life balanced without emptying our pocket that much.
