How Being Healthy Can Save You Money

What's stopping you from reaching your health goals? For some, it's the time and energy involved. Others shy away from their aims, fearing the cost of a healthier lifestyle. Gym memberships, organic produce, and sports equipment all come with big price tags. But there are some steps you can take today to improve your well-being that are either free or actually save you money. Here are some suggestions from Dr. David Salv.

Cook at Home

Some people still believe it's cheaper to get a takeout rather than cook at home, but it's simply untrue. There are plenty of hearty, healthy meals you can create at home at a much lower price than the food you buy at a fast-food chain, and cutting out junk food can be one of the most beneficial things for your health. Just because you’re not eating junk food doesn’t mean you can’t have snacks.

Buy Healthful Home Products

There’s nothing more frustrating than purchasing a home product that is of poor quality or doesn’t meet your needs. Whether it’s a kitchen device or a piece of exercise equipment, you don’t want to waste money on products that don’t work. Fortunately, you can find unbiased reviews of a variety of home goods online. Having solid information about a potential purchase can help you save money by ensuring you aren’t wasting it.

Drink More Water

Few things in life are cheaper than water, especially tap water. Your municipal water may be rated as safe to drink, but you can invest in a filter if you prefer the taste. Replace sugar-filled sodas and juices with water. Track the amount you drink daily, and attempt to hit 4 to 6 cups a day. This not only comes with numerous health benefits, such as flushing bacteria and aiding digestion, but you're also much less likely to snack, cutting out a lot of unnecessary food in your diet.

Once you've developed this habit, you'll not only see improved health, but you also save money on groceries, as you've swapped unhealthy snacks and beverages for free and healthy water.

Take Advantage of Apps

Many free apps are available today to help form better habits, from diet to exercise. Use trackers to see the nutritional value of the food you eat and create goals to cut down on excessive amounts of sugars, carbohydrates, and calories. Pick up a free activity, such as jogging, taking advantage of the beautiful running trails in Savannah, and track the number of steps you take with an app. Create goals using a habit tracker. This introduces a sense of accountability and gives you a tangible representation of when you aren't achieving your goals, helping to maintain your new habit over weeks and months.

Monetize Your Health

You can even take a step further and make money from a healthy lifestyle. One way to stay invested in a new healthy hobby is to create some form of media around it. From weightlifting to yoga, you can track your journey and offer advice through blogs, podcasts, or videos online. With more experience, you can offer to teach classes.

Whatever you choose, make sure your brand stands out to prospective followers and clients. You’ll want that brand to be represented on your invoices to clients, and that’s easy to do via a service that makes their invoice maker free. You can customize a template of your choice with graphics, text, and colors that are inline with your brand identity. Once you have a design you like, you can download it to use as needed.

With the right advice and mindset, being healthy doesn't need to be a financial burden.

Fantastic Psychiatrist - I can't say enough wonderful things about David Salvage. It's extremely difficult to find a psychiatrist who actually listens, takes their time with you and works 'with you' to find the right medication for whatever you are struggling with. David is a gem, and I would recommend him to everyone and anyone who is seeking quality care. David, besides everything I just mentioned is kind, extremely knowledgeable, and has such a calm presence. The office was amazing. It's super cozy and unique, and not sterile like so many other offices I've been to. You will not regret scheduling with him. Thank you, David!

Dr. Salvage has literally saved the lives of 2 of my family members. He is so kind and caring and his knowledge of psychopharmacology is amazing. Depression and anxiety are difficult to manage long-term and his therapy and med selection has taken us all from some very dark places into a more balanced life filled with happiness. We still struggle, but with Dr. Salvage’s care, we have hope again.
