Believe it or not, you don’t have to spend a small fortune to adhere to a healthy lifestyle. From Himalayan pink salt to rich and creamy almond butter, we’ve rounded up 10 amazing products that can help enhance your health without breaking the bank.
10 Budget-Friendly Essentials for Healthy Living
1. Coconut Oil
This popular oil is not only rich in healthy saturated fats, it also contains antibacterial and antifungal properties. Add it to your diet in lieu of other, less healthy oils, use it to rid your mouth of harmful bacteria or slather it on your skin for an instant moisture boost. Try Vitacost Certified Organic Unrefined Coconut Oil—it’s “cold pressed from non-GMO coconuts.”
2. Himalayan Pink Salt
This pure, mineral-rich salt is believed to boast a bevy of health benefits, including aiding hydration, reducing blood pressure, ridding the body of heavy metals and helping to improve sleep. Vitacost Fine Himalayan Pink Salt is vegan and gluten free!
3. Lavender Essential Oil
In addition to its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, lavender is known to promote relaxation. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that lavender essential oil is commonly used to help reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Vitacost 100% Pure Lavender Essential Oil can be used for aromatherapy or diluted with a carrier oil (e.g., almond, grapeseed or olive oil) to cleanse, soothe and refresh the skin.
4. Sambucus Elderberry Syrup
Did you know that black elderberries have a greater antioxidant capacity than blueberries, cranberries and strawberries? Vitacost Sambucus Elderberry Ultra-Concentrated Black Elderberry Extract “can help protect cells from free radical damage and may support healthy immune function.” This targeted wellness solution can be taken year-round.
5. Garbanzo Beans
Also known as chickpeas, garbanzo beans are packed with protein and dietary fiber. Add mild, nutty Vitacost Non-GMO Garbanzo Beans to soups and salads, or use them to whip up a batch of creamy hummus. Did we mention that they’re free of gluten—and cholesterol?!
