little things like knowing you have a meal already prepared can lessen the burden of your ph on that day, just because it\u2019s one less thing to concern yourself with.<\/em><\/p><p><em>making a big batch of soup in the same way is a good idea too. chop you veg, peel your spuds, pop it all in a pan and let it do it\u2019s thing. once the soup is made, you can freeze it in portions and relax knowing there are meals there when you need them.&#8221; <\/em><\/p><div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>the following advice comes directly from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cysticfibrosis.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cf trust,<\/a> who have kindly given us permission to reproduce their content in the hope it may help our members too.<\/strong><\/h4><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cysticfibrosis.org.uk\/how-to-meal-plan-to-save-money-and-waste\"><strong>how to meal plan to save money and waste<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; planning before your food shop can be really important if you want to stick to a budget and reduce waste. we have some ideas to help you plan your meals and shopping lists effectively.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cysticfibrosis.org.uk\/life-with-cf\/cost-of-living-with-cf\/how-you-can-reduce-the-cost-of-cooking\"><strong>how you can reduce the cost of cooking&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a>&#8211; if we want to eat healthily and cheaply, cooking is hard to avoid. but with many people\u2019s thoughts turning to rising energy bills, we may be thinking twice about how we\u2019re using energy when in the kitchen. check out our five ways you can save energy while cooking \u2013 and still enjoy tasty and nutritious meals.<\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cysticfibrosis.org.uk\/life-with-cf\/cost-of-living-with-cf\/five-top-tips-for-eating-well-on-a-budget\"><strong>five top tips for eating well on a budget&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cysticfibrosis.org.uk\/life-with-cf\/cost-of-living-with-cf\/budget-friendly-recipes-for-people-with-cystic-fibrosis\"><strong>budget-friendly recipes <\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; each recipe includes an estimated cost, based on november 2022 price points.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>we understand that if you have ph, it\u2019s not just cost you need to consider when it comes to cooking and eating. managing fatigue and other symptoms can be just as prohibitive, so the content we\u2019ve compiled on this page aims to take these additional challenges into account too. the british heart foundation has these [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":19981,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-19994","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"\/\/www.aselpijama.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19994"}],"collection":[{"href":"\/\/www.aselpijama.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"\/\/www.aselpijama.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/\/www.aselpijama.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/\/www.aselpijama.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19994"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"\/\/www.aselpijama.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19994\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27537,"href":"\/\/www.aselpijama.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19994\/revisions\/27537"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/\/www.aselpijama.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"\/\/www.aselpijama.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
