Ever heard that the best cure is prevention?
We totally agree! In fact, we think eating nutritious food is the best way to stay well.
So, if you’re going to do one thing to improve your health, invest in improving your diet. It will be the cheapest medical bill you’ll ever have.
We were shocked when we discovered how much the average Aussie spends on their health each year…
- As a country, we spend $5.5 billion each year on dentist visits alone! When an average check-up can cost anywhere between $150 and $305, cutting sugar could help you could slash your dentist bills – even our expert dentist agrees.
- The biggest bill of all goes to medication which sees each of us forking out around $11 billion a year. And surprisingly, Aussies spend more on vitamins and supplements than prescriptions meds – around $9.3 billion!
- Alternative medicine bills, which covers naturopathy, traditional medicines and homeopathy, sees us spend $3.9 billion a year.
Research shows that, on average, a single person (under the age of 35) spends $24 a week on health and medical expenses, that’s a whopping $1248 a year. But worse still, as we age and start a family, these numbers only increase!
Just eating real food (AKA, JERF!) on the other hand, doesn’t have to be expensive – in fact, we love a bargain! Check out our top tips for healthy eating on a budget, and you could save cash, and your health!
After all, an investment in your health is an investment in yourself.
