Economically speaking, January is a tough month for many people. This, combined with the excesses experienced at the end of 2013, invites us to try to save a bit and consequently take better care of our bodies. Here are some tips so that the January slope doesn't feel so steep and you can also use it to feel better.

Avoid impulse buying. The month of buying everything we desired has passed; now it's time to care for your wallet. You need to have self-control and limit your purchases to what is necessary. This way, you'll save money and also refrain from various cravings that could ruin your diet. Try cooking at home and learning new recipes; in the long run, it will be much better for you and your wallet.  

Goodbye vices

With the holidays also came the consumption of alcoholic beverages and some other slips like smoking or eating too much fat or junk food. Take advantage of January to say goodbye to all those harmful activities and get back on the healthy path. It goes without saying that by avoiding temptations, you'll also save a good amount of money.  

Plan your shopping

Both you and your family change every year. Reconsider what items you buy when you go to the supermarket and stop to remove from the list everything that is no longer needed or those products that are only consumed out of habit and craving. Instead, try to include more fruits and vegetables, as well as good dairy products like Greek yogurt, as these products, besides not being very expensive and taking care of your economy, will exponentially improve your health.  

Less gasoline

Many times you have no choice but to use the car, but many others we take it just out of habit. How about starting to walk a little more to tone muscles and do aerobic exercise while saving a lot of your budget that would otherwise go straight to gasoline?  

Cook at home

This has already been mentioned, and we must reiterate it, as in the long run, it is much better to buy a good cookbook or look for excellent recipes on www.kiwilimon.com and learn new techniques and dishes. Cooking at home will expand your culinary repertoire and will also help you economically, as the difference between eating at home and eating out is enormous. Of course, this way you will also be able to control the nutrients that you and your family consume.
