Get this magazine and get rock-hard ripped OR buy a Kit Kat instead at Coles Express service station (most likely MANY service stations and supermarkets!)

Bad product placement!?

what does $20 buy?!

One of the most common debates I have with people is about it being too expensive to eat healthy, compared to eating a packaged food diet. Unfortunately many DO make food decisions based on price. It’s funny how many of those people though, have no challenge finding the extra dollars for alcohol. Or soft drink, ice cream and takeaway!

So is it actually more expensive to eat healthy? The question is relative of course and the answer will vary greatly depending on who you ask. There are definitely some things we can all cut back on as consumers in order to be able to spend a little more on the food that nourishes our bodies. Step one? Easy example. Eliminate soft drink!

This week I set about finding out exactly what $20 buys here in Brisbane in the way of fresh produce.
The local supermarket saw me leave with three bags of delicious fruit and vegies - $19.86. And with an incredible deal at the local fruit and vegie shop - “fill a box with anything you want for only $20” I was able to discover astonishingly how much actually fits into a box - I left with a HUGE array of colourful local produce. This included a wonderful variety of seasonal fresh delights, even eggs.

elderly exercise

Having officially hit senior status recently (ok, a little longer than recently ;) ) exercise and its benefits as the years go by have become a rapidly vital interest.

As we age there are some physical changes taking place that, barring cosmetic surgery, we don’t have control over. Our skin becomes thinner and less elastic, wrinkles appear in great numbers and our hair turns wonderful shades of gray! The good news though is that we can control to a greater degree, the aging of our physical aspects such as posture and weight.

It’s fabulous when people become armed with the knowledge that with exercise, life can be made a lot easier through improvements in strength, balance, coordination, and mobility - no matter what age!
