How to Get the Most Out of Healthy Eating Week This Year at B&M!

We all strive to be happier and healthier in our everyday lives. But obstacles and distractions can cause us to lose focus and relent on our fitness and health goals.

That’s why this Healthy Eating Week UK, we at B&M are here to offer advice and guidance on how to maintain your healthy habits and improve your lifestyle.

That’s why B&M are here to offer affordable and high-quality Diet and Fitness products to aid in your health and fitness journey.

Get involved at B&M and elsewhere from the 12^th to 16^th of June and take part in the national celebration of healthy eating and positive health choices.

Healthy Eating Tips & Tricks

From time to time, everybody needs help and guidance on how to build and maintain healthy habits.

That’s why we at B&M are here to offer three tips and tricks on how to affordably make healthier choices day to day.

1) Always try to buy larger value packs of healthy products

Healthy foods can sometimes be more expensive than their fattening and unhealthy counterparts.

One way to solve this is buying larger value packs of healthy foods such as the Skinny Crunch Snack Bars 5pk available at B&M.

Instead of spending more money on a single bar or choosing a cheaper unhealthy alternative, the value 5 pack is £1 giving you 5 times more value for a cheaper price. The bars are also a great healthy choice as they are high in fibre and low calories.

2) Research cheaper and healthier meals to cook at home

Buying food that’s prepared is much more expensive than cooking at home, and often very unhealthy.

Taking that small amount of extra time to prepare and cook your own food will make massive savings and allow you to know what’s going in your food. Being able to pick your own ingredients allows for calorie control, which forms good healthy habits and develops health knowledge to make sure you keep on track.

3) Cook and prepare your food in a healthier way

Now it may seem obvious to state that cooking in a healthier way is better for you.

However, there are many widely unknown ways you can reduce your fat intake by cooking in a healthier style. For example, cooking food in a low-calorie spray rather than oil will reduce the excess calories your meal accumulates during the cooking process.

In addition, cooking food in an air fryer, grill or steamer will reduce the oil used and create some great tasting food in the process. Here at B&M we offer great Kitchen and Cooking Electricals which will revolutionise your cooking and lead to better tasting and healthier meals.
