How to Manage a Nutritious Diet For People Living on Low Income
People who have little money to live on may be found in any of these groups:
- Single-parent families
- Unemployed men and women
- Disable people
- House-bound people
- Homeless people
- People unable to work because of illness
- Students living on a grant
- School-leavers setting up home
- People in low-paid jobs
Research has shown that people with low incomes are more likely to suffer from heart disease, strokes, and some type of cancer. They are more like to be overweight which is also a risk to health. Eating less fat, sugar and salt, and more fruit and vegetables, pasta, wholegrain cereals, and bread can be difficult on a low income. Many people prefer to buy foods high in fat and sugar, which satisfy hunger for longer, rather fresh fruit and vegetables, even if the fruit and vegetables cost less. There are many ways that may help low-income people to eat more healthily.
