Heart Healthy Eating on a Shoestring Budget

Calvin Fitness and Wellness FREE Community Event

If you live on a fixed income, a trip to market can be very stressful. With the cost of food rising almost daily, it is tough to find healthy and affordable food.  Or is it?

According to a new national poll of more than 1,000 women, published in the June 2012 issue of ShopSmart magazine (from the publisher of Consumer Reports), 57% of respondents said their main reason for not eating a healthier diet was cost.

Here are some common mistaken beliefs:

• 57%: Eating healthful foods is too expensive.
• 39%: Life is too short; I want to enjoy what I eat.
• 29%: I don't have time to prepare healthy meals.
• 25%: My family prefers less healthy meals.
• 20%: Unhealthy habits are too hard to change.
• 18%: Healthy foods don't satisfy my appetite.
• 13%: I'm not sure which foods are healthy.

Would you like to learn more about how to eat deliciously well without taking out a reverse mortgage?
