Hearty cabbage soup is a fantastic staple of a low-cost diet. Not only is the recipe keeping costs down but it’s an easy recipe to make delicious. Eating a balanced diet is one of the ways we can maintain our health, immune system, as well as our mental health. When we are getting the nutrients that our bodies need, we experience more stable energy and mood. A poor diet tends to make people crave more sugar for that quick burst of energy. Once that short-term burst is over, our energy levels crash. A balanced diet gives us different energy sources to pull from because different types of food have varying rates of nutrients into our bodies. It makes a big difference in our sense of well being and mood throughout the day.
Soups can make a great meal that is easy to put together, easy to change the recipe to unique tastes and incorporate a variety of different foods to give us that balanced diet.
