Healthy Eating
Food prices have gone up significantly over the last few years. For many people, this means having to eat more cheaply. You can still have a good, varied diet on a budget and the British Dietetic Association has some brilliant ideas for reducing food costs while maintaining a healthy diet.
How do we know whether we’re eating the right amounts of the right foods? The British Nutrition Foundation has a handy guide to portion sizes, and rather than concentrating on weighing and measuring, it uses easy-to-compare measurements, such as a baked potato the size of your fist being a portion.
Staying warm
Staying warm when it’s cold outside can be challenging, and the UK is expected to see a colder than average start to December. Budgets are squeezed for many, so cost-effective tips from the BHF are especially welcome.
The Red Cross have information about staying warm during the winter, including a link to the 3,000 plus Warm Hubs across the country that are offering a warm place to be if you’re struggling to heat your home.
