Has the cost-of-living crisis left you counting the pennies? This doesn’t mean your health has to suffer. You can improve your well-being with these purse-friendly tips and tricks that will leave you feeling on top form while sticking to a tight budget – all for less than a quid!
FIND YOUR INNER CALM
Achieve a little bit of zen, without signing up to a pricey Pilates class or having to remortgage your house for a luxury massage. Just download the free app NHS Thrive (thrive.uk.com/ thrive-app). It’s designed to prevent and manage stress and anxiety, help you monitor your mood, and teach you relaxation techniques, such as meditation and deep-muscle relaxation. Jump in for a three-minute de-stress or use regularly to build resilience.
SPICE UP YOUR LIFE
Spicy food raises your metabolism, and the spicier it is the more slowly and consciously you eat. This means portion sizes are smaller and you get fuller faster. Add 1 fresh chilli, finely chopped, into soups, stir-fries and chillies. For an extra kick, leave in the seeds!
