Why Save Money Freeze Food?

Saving money and freezing food are two practices that can significantly benefit your holistic health and overall wellbeing. Here’s why you should consider implementing both into your lifestyle:

1. Financial Health

  • Budget-Friendly: By saving money, you create a buffer for unexpected expenses, which can reduce stress and enable you to focus on your wellbeing.

  • Cost-Efficient Meal Preparation: Buying in bulk and freezing excess food can lower grocery bills, making it easier to invest in higher-quality, organic, or gluten-free options.

2. Waste Reduction

  • Less Spoilage: Freezing food helps prevent waste by preserving fresh produce and leftovers that might otherwise go bad. This not only saves money but also supports sustainable practices.

  • Mindful Consumption: Being intentional about what you purchase and store encourages a more mindful approach to eating, aligning with holistic health principles.

3. Nutrition Preservation

  • Nutrient Retention: Freezing food at its peak freshness preserves vitamins and minerals, ensuring you have access to nutrient-rich meals whenever you need them.

  • Convenient Healthy Choices: A well-stocked freezer of wholesome meals and snacks makes it easier to resist processed options when time is tight.

4. Stress Reduction

  • Meal Planning Ease: Having a range of frozen meals allows for easier meal planning during busy weeks, reducing the temptation to reach for gluten-filled or unhealthy convenience foods.

  • Flexibility: With a variety of options frozen and ready to go, you can cater to your dietary needs without added stress, giving you the freedom to prioritise your health.

5. Encouraging Mindfulness

  • Creative Cooking: Freezing food can promote creativity in the kitchen. Experiment with different recipes and portions, creating a delicious variety that fuels both your body and your soul.

  • Art of Preparation: The process of preparing and freezing meals can be a mindful, artistic practice that nurtures your inner self, aligning with your journey toward holistic health.

By marrying the concepts of saving money and freezing food, you're not just taking care of your finances—you're also nurturing your body and mind, allowing for a more balanced and playful approach to health. Embrace these practices and enjoy the bounty of wellness they bring!

Emma Alexander-Cook

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
