You would save money more when you are healthy. sickness comes with a long of spending.

Yes, I am agree with you. By eating healthy food, we don't get sick easily, so even though healthy food is sometimes a little more expensive, health is much more expensive and important than the price of the food.

One area of my life i don't joke with is my health. I try to avoid getting sick because I know it will be expensive for me.

Over here, healthy things are kind of expensive, this is why most people tend to eat anyhow cause that is what they can afford. Over here buying fruits is not that cheap, if you really want to buy good things to consume, you have to spend.

It seems it is like that everywhere, healthy food is expensive and what is in promotion is junk, processed food. Food industry just care about their profits, if you want to eat healthy you have to pay.

... way over my head ...

The important thing: Eat right, and your body should take care of itself.

Mostly. Sometimes getting sick is just bad luck. You might have a genetic illness, or get into an accident with ongoing health effects. And of course you can still catch diseases. Your body is better able to fight diseases if you are healthy to start with, but even then sometimes the disease wins.

I think the problem is also that fresh foods like fruit and vegetables don't keep as well, so that makes them less economical to buy. You have to have a good way to store them, and be organised and skilled enough to use them up in time, and be able to buy new fresh veg often. With things like canned foods, you can store them for ages, so there is less pressure, and they can be shipped longer distances so they're available cheaply in more places. There are towns in Australia where a lettuce costs $20, because they have to bring them in on road trains over 100s of kilometers.

If you have to raise children, that's when you truly realize that it is cheaper to be healthy. I have had friends who had children with special needs or certain health conditions. The money they pay for their continuous medical treatment? It's enough to buy a mansion or a yacht or send those kids to an ivy league university. Instead, they're paying just to keep their kids alive, in the hope that they can have some kind of normal life.

It sounds like your friends need to do more research. Because a lot of the 'medicine' they buy can also be found in foods.

For instance: I eat a bannanna every night before bed---not because I like it, but because my 'grandmother' (really my grandfather's wife-in-old-age, so we 'adopted her' and she was a registered nurse) "prescribed" it to my grandfather that way ... I suppose it's a source of ... good stuff ...

If they're caring full time for kids with special needs I can pretty much guarantee (without even knowing them personally) that they have tried eating healthily as best they can. The answer is not as simple as "eat more bananas".

You can grow your own food and cook at home to stay healthy.

[Treborika]

They even said that healthy is wealthy. When you are healthy you are able to save alot in the hospital bills and all the expenses involved in the health services.

[Kenti]

An hour of oxygen is expensive. A pine of blood is not cheap either. We don't value our health till we need to buy these basic things.

Sometimes. I do like to grow my own food when I can, but it's not economical for me to grow a lot of the things I eat. Some fruit and vegetables don't grow well in the climate where I live. You've also got to have enough space to grow things, and the energy and knowledge to do it, and have a plan for dealing with pests.

I grow lemons, and now the tree is established it's nice not having to pay for them, although it took years for it start producing a lot of fruit. I also grow custard apples, which is great because they're my favourite and they're expensive to buy here. I can't grow my own apples though, it's too hot and humid, and it would take a lot of space and work to grow all the vegetables I eat.

Do you have to buy blood (like if you need a transfusion) in hospitals where you live?

[Uty Theo]

It is cheaper to be healthy because you don't need to spend your money on drugs for survival. You just need to stay fit, exercise and eat well. It's cheaper than being sick.

[Treborika]

I think there are so many benefits with staying healthy. You can save the time that one spends in hospitals for seeking medical attention and the inconvenience caused in the process.

[Reedex]

If you do not have health challenges, it is very cheaper but someone who is very sick would know that being healthy is very cheap because he will spend a lot of money especially if the sickness is a chronic one.

[Abdulhamid001]

Yeah, and spending on these things do not let people save money as most of these is spent on their well being.

[Richie10]

When someone has to be buying adult diapers at old age, such a person would realize how cheaper it would have cost to just take care of his health in young age.

[flow-er]

Maintaining good health is very cheap and it is definitely what must be done so that you will save cost in the future especially when you become old.

[augusta]

Having a bad health comes at a very high cost so you can reduce the cost by being in good health which is better

[Uty Theo]

I have relatives that are having one health challenge or the other and I know how much expenses we make to just keep them alive.

[augusta]

Hospital bills can be so huge sometimes. one just have to be wise to care for ones health to reduce health bills

[GnomeXray]

when you are sick you need to eat good and it cost money plus medications vitamins I heard that in a US the ambulance ride cost more than 1000 dollars exsisting became exspensive as hell

[Inem]

The cost of following a strict feeding regime is very expensive. Not to talk of medications. It is indeed cheaper to be in sound health.
