Financial constraints can significantly impact healthy eating habits. Limited financial resources may restrict access to fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, often more expensive than processed foods. Consequently, individuals may resort to cheaper, calorie-dense, and nutrient-poor options, which can negatively affect health. Budgeting limitations can also lead to food inconsistencies, making it challenging to maintain a balanced diet. Addressing these financial barriers is essential to promoting affordable access to nutritious food and improving overall public health outcomes.
