5 Reasons Eating Healthy Will Make You More Money

November 16, 2011 By Angela

Eating healthy comes with a surfeit of benefits to both your body and your wallet. Not only does it save you money, but as that cash is invested and allowed to grow, it will help make you more money in the long term. The following are 5 reasons why eating healthy will load your coffers with cash:

1. Vegetables Are Cheaper Than Meat
Eating healthy means eating your greens. It means feasting on cabbage, lettuce, zucchini, squash, and other round objects that can be described with irregular plurals. It is grown in the ground in bulk and quickly shipped to the supermarket for less than a dollar. Meat, on the other hand, must be raised, fed, slaughtered, and then processed before it is sent out in neat little rectangles. All of this requires abundantly more cash than a vegetable ever could, and is the primary reason why the price of meat requires numbers left of the decimal point. Having a diet that pares down on meat and bulks up on veggies will save you more money as a result. Frozen veggies can be even cheaper, and saves you the time of having to dice fresh foods before cooking.

2. Freedom to Buy Generic
In addition to buying frozen vegetables, stay away from the higher priced items such as organic fruits and veggies. With foods like dairy products, grains and cereal, if there is a generic offering in lieu of a brand name you can opt for the cheaper one. Unlike meat which can come in a variety of grades, there is so little variance in the quality of healthy foods that there is no reason not to pursue the most affordable option. A poorly graded steak can leave you chewing rubber, whereas generic oatmeal is indistinguishable from the high end stuff.

3. Less Junk Food
The primary culprit in the fight against obesity is the continuous mastication of snacks between meals. Donuts after breakfast, candy after lunch, ice cream before bed, and potato chips all the time have become part of a modern diet that is grossly superfluous. Eating healthy means sticking to three balanced meals a day and cutting down on the junk that you don’t need.

4. Water Over Soda
The drink of choice for American households has become soda. However, drinking juice or bottled water is in fact more expensive than your average can of high fructose corn syrup. Getting a water filter, on the other hand, can give your tap water a cleaner, brisker taste and save you hundreds on the cost of soda each year. A filtered water pitcher on average produces about 40 gallons of life giving liquid for a mere $7 per filter. Drinking less soda will also lower your weight and reduce the risk of contracting excess sugar based diseases such as diabetes.

5. Healthcare Costs
The most dramatic reason eating healthy saves you money is also the least apparent. Eating healthy means you will likely avoid the cavalcade of health problems that bombard individuals throughout their adult life. With the rising cost of healthcare, everything from a simple body scan to a complex operation will eat into your savings, especially for those without adequate insurance. If a penny saved is truly a penny earned, a healthy diet combined with rigorous exercise will fill your backyard with enough pennies to build a ski slope of copper.
