Concerns have been raised over health as a result of the economic downturn in the UK.
According to insurer PruHealth, Britons are not eating food that is good for them as they believe it to be more expensive.
With constraints being placed on household budgets, nearly half are struggling to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables each day, with 21 per cent managing to eat the recommended amount once a week or less.
Those who are finding that they need to cut back on essential items may wish to identify debt management solutions in order to ensure they do not have to compromise on their health.
Chief executive of PruHealth Shaun Matisonn remarked: "Not only are increased financial and time pressures taking a toll on our stress levels, but they are also having an impact on … the content of our diets."
Earlier this week, The Co-operative Bank found that many people are struggling to make their disposable income last until the end of the month, with most running out by the 20th.
