AFTER the Christmas excesses, many of us will be vowing to improve our eating habits. And having a better diet doesn’t mean you need to spend more money on your food shop. Here are some affordable ways to feel better without splashing the cash . . . EAT MORE FISH: This is a good source of protein which is essential for a balanced diet, and also contains vitamins and minerals.

Try to swap two portions of fish into your meal plan each week, including one serving of oily fish which can help prevent heart disease. Mackerel is one of more the affordable fish — a pack of smoked fillets is £2.15 from Sainsbury’s. You could try crumbling over a warm salad with new potatoes, mayonnaise and a few leaves for a delicious easy lunch.

ADD FRUIT AND VEG: Fruit and vegetables contain vitamins and nutrients that improve health — but most of us still don’t eat enough. Picking seasonal produce can be a way of keeping costs down. Every two weeks, Aldi selects half a dozen seasonal items and offers them at super-low prices as part of its “super six” deal.

For example, you can currently get red cabbages for 39p each, and broccoli for 59p each. It’s also worth downloading the Uber Eats delivery app, which offers half-price fruit and veg on Mondays to selected accounts. WATER WORKS: Making sure you drink enough water is a free and easy lifestyle tweak to make that can also improve your mood.
