health & wellbeing Healthy living in a time of uncertainty

In times of uncertainty, when rising costs make healthy living feel like a luxury, finding balance can seem out of reach.

As a wellbeing coach, I’m committed to helping you prioritise your health without breaking the bank. Yes, eating well can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be out of your budget if you approach it differently. Start small and start at home. Growing your own food can be one of the most rewarding and affordable steps you take. Consider perennial greens and groundnuts (packing a punch with protein) —plant them once, and they’ll keep coming back. If you don’t have much space, window boxes or balcony pots can do the trick. Picking your greens for the week is quick, easy, and can become a Sunday routine.

For those wanting an even simpler start, microgreens and sprouted legumes can be grown on your windowsill in no time, delivering a powerful nutrient punch. Seeds are cheap, and tools like sprouting towers can be found online.

Another budget-friendly option is buckwheat bread. It’s protein-rich and helps reduce blood sugar spikes. Organic buckwheat groats can make several loaves, which can be frozen for convenience.

Consider joining a health food membership, where for a small yearly fee, you get access to organic pantry essentials at warehouse prices.

When you’re running a business and you don’t have much time or spare cash these are surefire ways you can stay on top of your health game, keeping firing on all cylinders, sleep well at night and have enough energy for both work and home life.
