It’s a common misconception that eating healthily requires a significant financial investment. The truth, however, is that nourishing your body with the right foods doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag.
In this episode, I debunk the myth that nutritious food is costly and provide tips for affordable healthy eating. I highlight the advantages of home cooking and organic foods, emphasizing their nutritional value and reduced exposure to unhealthy additives.
