\"If<\/a>If you want to have better health, more energy, and more money one of the absolute best things you can do is start developing healthy habits.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve learned first-hand that doing many of the things on this list can provide benefits in unbelievable ways.<\/p>\n

Here are six healthy habits that will save you money. (Just be sure to develop one at a time so they stick!)<\/p>\n

# 1 \u2013 Drink Half Your Body Weight in Ounces of Water Each Day<\/h2>\n

Drinking a certain amount of water every day is one of the best habits you can create for not only your wallet, but also your health.<\/p>\n

For the past couple of months I\u2019ve went with the rule of drinking half my body weight in ounces each day. Not only have I cut back on beverages that I\u2019m paying too much for but I have seen significant health benefits.<\/p>\n

As an added bonus when I drink a bunch of water I feel less hungry, keeping my portion size down which also saves money.<\/p>\n

# 2 \u2013 Make Your Own Meals<\/h2>\n

After watching Food Inc. I was mortified. I could not believe where some of my food was coming from and now when I go to the grocery store I get a bit uneasy.<\/p>\n

When you make your own food<\/a> you know exactly what has been put into it. You don\u2019t have to worry about chemicals and toxins because you control the ingredients.<\/p>\n

Subsequently when you\u2019re preparing your own food you won\u2019t have to worry about last minute impulse purchases or eating out.<\/p>\n

Just cutting up fresh fruit and veggies to always have on hand can take your food savings a long way.<\/p>\n

# 3 \u2013 Switch Out TV for Walks<\/h2>\n

Instead of mindlessly sitting in front of the TV as entertainment for your family take a walk. Find active ways to replace the TV watching.<\/p>\n

If you do this enough you might find that an expensive cable package is no longer worth your money.<\/p>\n

# 4 \u2013 Keep Your House Decluttered<\/h2>\n

A cluttered house can cause so much mental stress and can cost you<\/a>. Your surroundings have a huge effect on the way you feel!<\/p>\n

Keep your home, desk, and car decluttered on a regular basis. Spending only five minutes per day on some decluttering action can do wonders for your mood.<\/p>\n

# 5 \u2013 Eat More Whole Foods<\/h2>\n

When you eat more whole foods and cut out most processed foods your health is going to increase dramatically.<\/p>\n

After doing the Whole 30 for a month I just could not believe how much better I felt. While giving up all the junk was hard at first the benefits were completely worth it. I was less tired in the afternoons, had more energy, and my body felt better altogether.<\/p>\n

A healthier body means less trips to the doctor and less medicines.<\/p>\n

# 6 \u2013 Walk More, Drive Less<\/h2>\n

If you live in a city one easy thing you can do is try and walk more and drive less. You\u2019ll save money on gas and improve your health.<\/p>\n

If you live in a rural area this habit may be impossible to develop.<\/p>\n

Develop One Habit at a Time<\/h2>\n

If you want these habits to have a lasting effect try taking one new habit for thirty days. If you can stick with it for thirty days then go ahead and layer on the next habit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
