"I hear often from readers complaining that they can&amp;#x27;t make healthy choices because they can&amp;#x27;t afford to. I am so passionate about the idea that living healthy doesn&amp;#x27;t have to be pricey. At the very basic foundation of healthy living is choosing wisely and simply. You don&amp;#x27;t need to be Miss Moneybags to do that! Here are my five favorite health cheapies... Sea salt: Forget pricey mouth rinses, if you have sore, inflamed gums, brush and floss of course, then rinse with a solution of warm water and sea salt (about a teaspoon per cup of warm water). Swish and rinse, repeat. Do this for a few days and I&amp;#x27;ll be amazed at its healing properties. Bacteria hate salt, so it&amp;#x27;s great for oral health. Vinaigrette: Salad dressing is pricey, often loaded with calories and additives. I say skip it and make your own. You&amp;#x27;ll save a lot of money and you will love the way it tastes. I keep a mason jar of vinaigrette in my fridge that I just shake up and drizzle on salad or veggies whenever I need it. Here&amp;#x27;s a recipe for my favorite easy salad dressing. Nose spray: I will admit, I am not a fan of neti pots (personally, I just find dredging my nostrils with water unappealing). But, I do love saline sprays and mists. And, health experts say that keeping your nose moist can help keep you free of germs. And, it&amp;#x27;s a really good thing to do before and during an airplane trip. A good yoga DVD: Yoga is stress-relieving, body-toning, and it feels great. But yoga studios can be expensive. Very expensive. Which is why I love yoga DVDs (I have a ton of them, so I never get bored). You don&amp;#x27;t need a ton of room to do yoga, which is why a living room works just fine. Make your in-home &amp;quot;studio&amp;quot; feel more the part with some background music and maybe a zen-like candle in the distance. And tell your guy to go walk the dog! You don&amp;#x27;t need him gawking at you when you&amp;#x27;re in downward-facing dog pose. Here&amp;#x27;s a DVD I really liked from Sting&amp;#x27;s wife! A jump rope: Want mega fat-burning without hiring a trainer? Fit women on a budget have a little secret: The jump rope! It&amp;#x27;s a great wait to get your heart rate sailing into the critical fat-burning zone. Plus, it&amp;#x27;s fun! Baking soda: Whether you use it to whiten your teeth, deodorize your carpet or clean your oven, baking soda is a cheap, healthy DO. What are your favorite cheap ways to stay healthy?
