Cooking your own food is healthy, cheap, and you actually know what is going into your food. Few days ago I went to my friends house and we ordered chinese food, got food poisoning and now I'm sick... Doesn't happen often, but you really have no idea what they put in your food when you take out. Same is true with buying processed foods.
The biggest life hack for healthy cooking/eating is something I discovered just a few weeks ago after I bought a $500 top of the line blender (Vitamix). What you can do is fill the blender up with raw vegetables/fruits and it will blend it into a liquid. This might seem obvious, but I really mean RAW fruits (i.e. throw an entire apple, banana, celery sticks, kale, etc. and it will liquify everything including the stems and skins). Every morning I have one of these, some taste horrible, some taste really good, but since it's liquified I can just chug a glass of it and you really start to feel amazing after doing this for even just a few days. To be honest I rarely ate vegetables before, so I don't think I've ever eaten this healthy in my life.
