The economic recession has forced many people to cut back on food costs. Unfortunately, there are those who think that eating on a budget means eating cheap processed food, day in and day out. However, benefiting from a healthy diet on a tight budget is still very possible. All you need is the proper nutrition education.
The food stamp program, now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), provides a list of nutritious food items that can be purchased using the SNAP EBT card. This list can serve as a basic guideline that you can use to construct a healthy and balanced diet.
Even if you can’t qualify for the food stamp program, you can still follow the SNAP list of allowable foods to help you buy affordable and healthy food choices that will contain the proper nutrition you need.
Remember that keeping yourself healthy by eating right could help you save money from health care costs.
