Healthy Living in Tough Economic Times

Tough economic times impact more than your wallet: stress on your family can increase, and your health and well-being can be affected through changes in nutrition and physical activity. Commonly, when people are going through economically strapped times, good nutrition and physical activity seem more like a luxuries than necessities. However, if you stop investing in your and your family’s health by not eating healthy and exercising regularly, the costs that are cut in the short-term may become very expensive down the road if health problems or medical costs arise.

In general, Americans are struggling with their weight and finances, and when money is tight, trying to save and maintain a budget, and maintain health can seem like an impossible feat.
