While meat can be a part of a healthy diet, not all sources are created equal. The leanest and healthiest meats to eat include poultry, pork, fish, and seafood. Eating a balanced diet is one of the keys to a healthy lifestyle, which means choosing various foods from different food groups, like proteins.
Lower-income households purchase more cereals, pasta, potatoes, legumes, and fatty meats. Their vegetables and fruits are often limited to iceberg lettuce, potatoes, canned corn, bananas, and frozen orange juice.
Buying cheap foods that you can add to other foods, like beans and lettuce, can help fill you up and save money. Heavily processed foods are often cheap but not very healthy. Take inventory of what you have before you start shopping and possibly buy something you don't need.
Information about life expectancy is based on real world contexts, such as hunger strikes and serious medical conditions. With no food and no water, the maximum time the body can survive is thought to be about one week . With water only, but no food, survival time may extend up to 2 to 3 months.
Frozen or canned fruits and vegetables can work just as well as fresh in some recipes. Other great pantry staples include microwaveable rice packets, cans of tuna, legumes, wholegrain cereals, seeds and nuts. Fresh foods such as eggs and tofu have a reasonable shelf-life and can be turned into a meal without waste.
