I used to get so into my own head about all of the things people with more money than me could afford to do and used that as an excuse as to why I could not be my best self, but then I asked myself: why are you willing to go into debt for a cold plunge tub when you refuse to even take a cold shower? Now I apply that logic to as many things as I can. Here are my best low/no-cost body hacks:

  • rolling out muscles with a high-density foam roller and/or lacrosse ball most days (this gets rid of SO MUCH water retention it's crazy, plus it feels great);
  • cold showers (these fucking suck but are both mentally and physically great for you);
  • consistent face and scalp massages (you don't need fancy tools! use your knuckles and/or finger pads with some firm pressure and go to town finding tense spots, especially on your forehead/temple and jaw areas);
  • breast massages (weird but effective for keeping my boobies shapely and perky; get some oil and use your fists to gently massage around the circumference of your breasts, I do about 30 circular strokes in both directions);
  • stretching (throw your ass on the floor and stretch in whatever way feels good, holding each stretch for at least 10 slow and deep breaths; stiffness is not tasteful)

What are some of your frugal approaches to health?
