“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” Matthew 5:13
We all know transitioning into a healthy lifestyle from an unhealthy one can be hard. One common problem with both unhealthy food and some “healthy” food, or food that seems to be healthy, is that they have high sodium content. Watch out! This can be treacherous to your health. Not only is sodium bad for your health, cholesterol, and overall well-being, too much sodium is also a dangerous component in keeping on those dreaded pounds. Especially that unwanted belly fat.
I absolutely love this recipe for roasted Brussel Sprouts. It’s low sodium, super easy to make and overall good for you.

I know grocery shopping for healthy food on a budget can be near to impossible, but I have a little light at the end of the tunnel for you all! There is this small grocery store called Aldi that carries a wide variety of awesome healthy foods for relatively very affordable. There are very few name brands, and almost everything is as I like to say “Aldi-brand”. Unlike a lot of store-brand items where opting for the cheaper option can be a “get what you paid for” type of situation, Aldi has very high-quality products that I personally think are just as good, if not better than some of the more expensive name-brand competition. Just a few of my favorite items are their value-pack frozen chicken, their avacoados (which are almost always cheaper than the local grocery-store), their Breakfast Blend K-cups, and their frozen value-pack Tilapia.
I am also starting to do a food-log again with the MyFitness app so on my next post I shall update you on how that goes!
Remember, if I can do it, you can do it!!
