Use these "eating healthy on a budget" tips to learn how to take advantage of the fresh, local foods available at the market with- out breaking the bank! Erica Rutledge, Nutritionist for the Cleveland County Public Health Center's WIC program says, "Getting the most from your budget means getting the most from your food. Foods that are nutrient rich can provide more bang for your buck!" Nutrients which include healthy fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, work together for the wellbeing of you and your family. Try these 5 tips and lead the way to a healthy body and mind. 1. PLAN WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO EAT Before you shop, write a list. See what foods you have and what foods you will need for recipes and snacks. "Foods prepared at home are more nutritious and can be cheaper than eating out or purchasing convenience foods like frozen dinners. Are there a few simple rec- ipes that your family enjoys? Ask one of your local nutritionists at the Cleveland County Public Health Center for easy healthy recipes," says, Rutledge. 2. DECIDE HOW MUCH TO MAKE Making extra food will save time and ener- gy in the kitchen. If you double this recipe, it will make 12 portions! Serve one portion and save the rest for meals or snacks later in the week. You could also freeze the leftovers to re- heat in the microwave or oven the next week. 3. MAKE YOUR OWN HEALTHY SNACKS FOR THE FAMILY Don't spend money on chips, candy, cakes, and cookies. Make your own healthy snacks for individual, even on-the-go, nourishment. Purchase sandwich baggies and small plastic containers with lids (or re-use containers such as butter tubs). Now you are all set! Snacks to Try • Have a parfait party! Scoop individual serv- ings from a low-fat yogurt tub into small con- tainers with lids; add your favorite fresh fruits and cereal for crunch. • Combine nuts, whole-grain cereal, dried fruits, and pretzels for a delicious homemade trail-mix. Use sandwich baggies for individual portions and easy travel. • Sandwiches and wraps aren't just for lunch. Prepare mini wraps by rolling shredded carrots, cucumber, and cheese in a whole- wheat tortilla. Slice in half and bag. Dip in your favorite dressing. 4. DETERMINE WHERE TO SHOP Browse the newspaper, online, and at the store for coupons and weekly store specials. Shop at your local Foothills Farmers' Market. You can fi nd seasonal fresh fruit and vegeta- bles full of antioxidants. Don't forget to look for local meat, fi sh, eggs, cheese, baked goods, honey, marinades, and so much more. Sup- porting your local farmers' market strengthens your community and local economy. Debit and EBT cards are accepted. For more infor- mation, visit www.foothillsfarmersmarket.com. 5. CHOOSE NUTRITIOUS, LOW-COST FOODS Protein foods can really put a strain on your wallet. Look for lean protein such as beans, eggs, fi sh, and chicken. These are low in fats that cause heart problems and can also be more affordable. A 2lb bag of dry beans makes 24 servings, at an estimated cost of less than 15 cents per serving. Eggs are also one of the most affordable sources of high quality protein, running approximately 15 cents per egg. Try canned fi sh such as tuna or salmon. Eating seafood twice a week may help prevent heart disease and contribute to brain development in children. Pair these foods with healthy whole grains and fruits and vegetables. Whole-grains con- tain fi ber that will keep you full longer, and they don't even cost extra! Brown rice, for instance, at about 10 cents per serving, is a great choice for your budget and health. Shop for fresh fruit and vegetables in sea- son. Broccoli, greens, spinach, mushrooms, radishes, beets, and strawberries are excel- lent spring produce in North Carolina. Don't be afraid to ask your local farmer at the Foot- hills Farmers' Market - it is the best way to fi nd out how crops are doing. For a complete list of North Carolina seasonal fruits and vegeta- bles visit the NC Cooperative extension at the Cleveland County Center.

Cleveland County Public Health Center offers Simple tips for healthy eating on a budget Celebrating Hospice Volunteers April 10-16 During National Volunteer Week, April 10- 16, Hospice Cleveland County is celebrating the many gifts of its dedicated volunteers from our community who provide support, companionship and dignity to patients and family caregivers facing serious and life-lim- iting illness. "Hospice volunteers play an indispensable role in enabling Hospice Cleveland County to offer the best care possible for our patients, their families and caregivers. By sharing their time, energy, and expertise, our volunteers bring compassion and caring to the lives of those in need," said Krista Haynes, Patient/ Family Volunteer Coordinator. Hospice volunteers often serve patients and families at the bedside but they also as- sist in the offi ce, help raise awareness, con- tribute to educational programs, and provide fundraising support and more. The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization reports that there are an esti- mated 430,000 trained hospice volunteers providing more than 19 million hours of ser- vice to hospice programs each year. An estimated 1.6 million patients in the U.S. are cared for by hospice every year. Hospice volunteers help the people they serve live every moment of life to the fullest and enable the organizations they work with to achieve their mission in the community. Most hospice volunteers choose to give their time helping others because of their own ex- perience with the compassionate care hos- pice provided to a dying loved one. It is federally mandated under Medicare that fi ve percent of all patient care hours be provided by trained volunteers refl ecting the vital role that volunteers play in the provision of care.
