As we continue into 2009, the economic recession continues to worsen.  Thermostats are being turned down, families are eating out less, extracurricular activities are being reevaluated, and people are working harder to keep their jobs. 

During these times, it is especially important to remember to appreciate your health, a truly priceless commodity in today’s market.  Here are some ways that you can keep your health and your budget in check:

•  Buy Organic:  Even with budgets getting tighter, you can make educated choices and keep your table stocked with the fruits and vegetables.  We all know that organic carries lower pesticide loads, more nutrition and supports the local economy when bought nearby.  When making the decision between organic and conventional, always think about the skin of the produce – if you’re eating it (like apples and peaches) buy organic, but if you’re not (avocados, bananas) then buy conventional.  We’ve got a complete list in our Education section, so you can print out and keep it in your wallet when shopping.
• Exercise: You don’t have to train for a marathon or join a fancy gym.  Walking 30 minutes during your lunch break will boost your immune system, provide more energy and keep your body strong.
• Use Liddell: Keep your medicine cabinet stocked with your favorite Liddell remedies.  At less than $0.50/day, they’re easy on the budget.  And the best part – they’re safe for your entire family and there are no side effects, so you don’t have to worry about adverse reactions and ensuing trips to the doctor.  With 65 products, we’ve got nearly everything you need from Allergy and Asthma, to Varicose Veins and Warts.

 The best way to save money on medical expenses is to practice preventive health, so you avoid those costly hospital visits and medications. Liddell offers an inexpensive option for maintaining good health.
