As a low-cost alternative, many survey participants shared that fast food becomes a regular part of their diet, typically about three per week (via People). 59% of respondents reported that they exercise regularly, despite the obstacles imposed by society.
Exercise proves to be equally as important as healthy eating, as demonstrated by a studypublished in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. The study found that just 11 minutes of exercise per day reduced the risk of death in older adults.
When it comes to budget-friendly health food options, The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases suggests purchasing store-brand or bulk food items available in larger quantities, rather than buying multiple single-serve items. Experts recommend cooking low-cost side dishes such as canned beans and produce that are in season. They tend to be cheaper than those out of season.
