]]>Cruciferous veggies like cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and asparagus are rich in raffinose and fiber. Raffinose is a complex sugar that releases gasses as it breaks down in your body, and a similar thing happens with fiber.

]]>We all love to treat ourselves to a fancy dinner once in a while, but doing this on a daily basis is simply a waste of money. Not only that, eating out at restaurants, while very enjoyable and delicious, is not very healthy.
If you constantly have spoiled food in the fridge, this is a sign you’re wasting money on food because you’re buying more food than you need. Food waste is a huge problem that can cost you a lot of money, but you can solve it with meal planning and detailed shopping lists.
While it’s okay to throw out leftovers sometimes, try not to do it too often because this too is causing food waste. Even though it doesn’t seem like it first, reusing leftovers is a great way to prepare simple and tasty meals and save some money.
