Hey everyone!

How's it going? 😊

With the cost of living rising, maintaining a healthy diet can feel out of reach for many. Eating nutritious meals is important, especially for those managing chronic conditions, but affordability is often a challenge.

πŸ’¬ What’s your take?

  • Do you have tips for eating well on a budget in the UK?
  • Have you noticed any initiatives (like community gardens or food banks) that help make healthy food more accessible?
  • How do you balance cost and health when grocery shopping?


Let’s share ideas and inspire one another to eat well, even on a tight budget!

Best,
Somya from the Carenity Team 🌼

[ eating well on a budgetΒ ], is similar to the friend of Sam Kinison who asked for a rehab referral, with a $15,000 deposit.

Sam replied: "If you have $15,000, you haven't spent on drugs... you DON'T HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM.

@LifeDelineator Youre assuming (and we all know what that means) Sams friend had the $15k on his person....could very well have been a relative or rich sponsor paying for his/her rehab and paying the facility directly.

@VICKICOFFEY - I am not assuming anything.

I am just passing on a very poignant, life reality, observation. (By one of the most star-crossed comedians of his day)

The problem is that healthy food, such as quality protein or fat, is often the most expensive. If on a budget, choices are unfortunately necessary... other expenses have to be cut.
