Everyone should aspire to live a healthier, happier life. Often, though, this seems easier said than done, and can require some pretty significant lifestyle changes – not to mention expense! Luckily, Sta2ure has some simple tips that can help you be your best without spending a fortune.

How to Save Money on Healthcare
The benefits of a healthier lifestyle should be evident over time not only in the way you look but in the way you feel also. You might even be able to qualify for a High Deductible Plan if you are eligible health-wise. Furthermore, you could open up a Health Savings Account where you can put away funds (tax-free) to cover health-related expenses.

If you have been avoiding health insurance because of the cost, look into low-cost options in your state. The Affordable Care Act prompted states to start their own programs in order to make insurance accessible to more people. You may be surprised by the coverage and rates you are able to get, so check out your options!

Reducing Transportation Costs
Suppose you’ve developed a passion for getting fit. Then you could use your newfound love of getting fit to jog to work and back if it’s not too far. If you’re in an area with a high walk score, this transition should be easy. You might even be able to pick up your groceries on the way home! (Although you may need to walk then.) Plus you’ll be benefiting the environment too.

Cutting Back on Food Costs
You can also reduce your food bill if you’re really smart about it. For example, if you’re used to dining out often, you can reduce your food expenses significantly by choosing to dine in instead.

Furthermore, there are smart ways to reduce your shopping bill too by buying certain non-perishables in bulk, or buying fresh fruit and vegetables when they’re in season and on special occasions. Moreover, you can even follow a customized eating plan that is usually available for free with the help of the many diet and fitness apps that are available online.

If you want to cut down on your food bill drastically, you could even consider growing your own fruit and vegetables which can cost you next to nothing at all provided you have a free section of the garden and some healthy soil in which to grow your own produce.

Join Free Exercise Programs
If the thought of joining a gym permanently is what scares you, then there are many alternative (free) options you could pursue instead, such as taking advantage of outdoor gyms, for example. Also, you could try to make the most of your time if you’re traveling for work. Where possible, try to squeeze in a short bout of exercise or two when you’re not busy.

You can take advantage of free online videos and the fitness facilities that you have at work, especially if this is a perk of the job. You can even take the stairs instead of the lift. But, as always, make sure that you have ample water on hand so that you keep hydrated at all times.

You should also add some great athletic gear from Sta2ure to kick your routine into gear! You can look great while you work to feel great, too!

Make Money By Living Well
Believe it or not, living a healthier lifestyle can also help you make more money! For example, you could generate extra revenue through affiliate marketing if you were to start your own fitness blog, for example. Or you could open up an e-commerce store to share your love of yoga equipment and yoga gear with others who are also interested in pursuing a healthier lifestyle.

Feel Good About Your Changes
In short, adopting a healthier lifestyle is certainly advantageous because you’ll feel better within yourself, not to mention proud that you’ve accomplished your health and wellness goals, especially if you’ve managed to do so without it taking a huge toll on your finances.
