About

I started The Natural Food Wallet to serve as a gateway to eating and purchasing food for better health.  Many of my family and friends have high blood pressure, diabetes, and cancer.  The doctors tell them to eat healthy. The nutritionist and health food gurus all talk about food that most of my family and friends will not eat, will not find in their local store and cannot afford.

 

Why listen to Eleshia (Me)I am a Survivor of Triple Negative Breast Cancer so it is a must that I eat healthier.   My husband and I adopted three boys with special needs.  My middle son has a long list of food allergies and we are currently seeking testing for autism.  All of the boys are ADHD. Thus, I have read so many articles about food additives, what foods eat and even where to buy food.

Now I want to share this information with my family, friends and all who need the help.

Because of my journey to healthier eating, I have struggled with affording the foods that are additive free, natural, fresh and organic.  Then there are the household products that have to be additive free, dye free and fragrance free.  So I pick my battles so to speak.  I buy fresh vegetables –some organic.  I read food labels to avoid additives, preservatives, dyes, chemicals and soy.   I shop at Aldi, Thrive Market (online), Amazon and Walmart.

Yes Walmart.  The key reason for my blog is helping people find affordable and attainable healthy eating strategies.  Many people don’t live near the popular fresh food markets and many of their local markets are so costly people shy away from foods and products they should purchase.

The Natural Food Wallet is just beginning so follow me as I share what I know and point you to other websites that will help your health and your wallet stay heathy.
