how to eat healthy on a budget...

(this is a letter to one of my best friend that recently moved to NYC)


Dear Soffi :

Hoping that you feel better from the allergies that you recently caught because of that junk food that you have been eating. Since I consired our relationship strong enaugh, I will like to advise you with some researches that i made to find out how to eat healthy in a budget.


There are so many reasons why people don't eat healthy specially if they live in New York city like we do. Some people don't have time, are not well educated about healthy food, and the most important the cost of organic food or healthy food like we called it.So here are some steps that i will like you to follow because I even though it is not easy to have a very good schedule having on mind the huge number of things that we have to do in one day if we work, go to school, and take care of a family in New York city.


step1: Try to always make your own schedule allowing you some time at least to take some fruits or vegetable from your home and eat them even if it is on the train. That will make u full for a few hours taking in considaration eat food like hole grains that grwo in the stomach. You have to keep on mind that we are trying to make you eat healthier so you will have to try to get a place that sell the most healthier possible fruits and vegetables so that way you will get more nutrients from them... Here are some links that will help you find places like that in New York city. Local business results for organics fruits near New York, NY ===> Here there is another one that even make deliveries which is more convenient for you if you do not have the time to go food shopping

Step2: Having talk already about breack fast, now lets talk about lunch. Students normally eat from the streets because of the busy life, but we have to think that most og the food serve on the streets are the most antiorganic ones. They either were left out to much or are bought at the lowest price meaning that they are good cualiries. So Thinking about our budget the food from the street will cost us more than the one that we can cook at home that will deffenetly be healthier. Now a days we can do everything online and if you dont have time to go to the supermarket, here is naother link to get any kind of organic meat that you will like () . this is a page that has a very long list of farmers that u might be interesting on. Also if you feel hungry after a few hour there is some store all over New York like GNC, Vitamin Shops, Organics markets and more that sell organics bars, nuts, drinks which will be pretty interesting to have it "on the go".
Step3: To conclude our step 3 will be your dinner, we all know that eating a lot late will make us develop some bad habits with our digestive system, nervous system, and also some problems to sleep because in most of the cases the body does not digest the food when our metabolism is working slow. So having a shake as a meal replacement will be one of the best choise but always thinking that we are looking for the most natural posible option; there for, try to make your own shaake at home.
Soffi hoping that you will pay attention to my advise, I wish you the best in life for you and all of yours.
Sincerely Sheila Gonzalez
