What makes me qualified to talk about healthy living?
I’m still fairly young, in my early 20’s. I’m a skinny guy who never gave much time to eating or living healthy. But I did spend a lot of time eating crap for food, drinking soda pop all day and being lazy. How does that unhealthy lifestyle qualify me to write about health?

Healthy foods that cost less than one dollar
I probably don’t have to tell you that economies all around the world are suffering right now, especially the United States economy. People are losing their jobs and in return, not spending money (if you even have money). It’s important to spend your money wisely during these uncertain times, but you don’t have to sacrifice a healthy life just because times are tough.
How your body recovers after you quit smoking
If you’re a smoker, you’ve probably to quit smoking many times in the past, most smokers have. It’s hard to quit even though we know the long-term health problems that we will probably have in the future. It’s also hard because lots of smokers don’t see the short-term benefits of quitting and crawl back to that cigarette. But I’m going to tell you what happens to your body right when you quit smoking, and give you some incentive to drop your cigarette habit.
