Every year, the Spanish improve their diet and quality of life with healthy and sustainable habits. Exercise, better nutrition and commitment to the environment are actions in the day to day of the Spanish.
Burnished has conducted a study called “Have we matured? We are not perfect, but we are trying”, to verify the relationship between lifestyle and eating habits. "We live in a time when everything seems perfect, where most people claim to lead a healthy lifestyle, but the truth is that in Spain we are not as Mediterranean as we think," said Teresa González, director of marketing and sustainability of Bruñó. "We have carried out this study to find out how the different generations have advanced in the last five years and if we really intend to improve and mature as a society committed to our health and the environment."
The survey was carried out on 12 people between the ages of twenty and sixty-five. The responses reveal that Spaniards do not lead as healthy and sustainable a life as they would like. Only 60% consider themselves healthier than most, but they are aware of this and are working to have healthy and sustainable habits. More than 35% of young people under 40 admit that their generation is not the healthiest. Despite this, XNUMX% believe that health is more relevant in their lifestyle than in that of their parents.
Food is a concern, especially in summer.
The arrival of summer is usually a crucial moment to try to improve healthy practices, especially with regard to food. During the year, the Spanish allocate a large part of their purchase budget to fruits and vegetables. The consumption of fruits and vegetables increases remarkably in spring and summer. In fact, approximately one in four Spaniards claims to only consume fruit during the summer season.
64% of Spaniards claim to consume fruit daily, but 68% acknowledge that they do not eat the necessary fruit. Among the 6 favorite fruits of the Spanish are melon and watermelon. As for vegetables, the Spanish consume few. 45% of those surveyed affirm that they would like to eat more vegetables, while 47% say they consume them every or almost every day.
Spaniards are concerned about the price of fruit, but 79% confess that they prefer to pay for quality fruit rather than any whim.
Sport, pending task for Spaniards.
Physical exercise continues to be a pending subject for the majority of Spaniards. 80% believe that they do not practice enough sport, and more than half would like to exercise more. Despite this, 52% say they practice sports several times a week.
81% want to be more sustainable.
In Spain, sustainability has come a long way in recent years, but not as much as it should. According to the study, 62% of Spaniards have a poor commitment to the environment. However, eight out of ten people are aware that they could adopt more sustainable practices and intend to do so. This shows a general willingness on the part of Spaniards towards improving sustainability, generating a wave of optimism.
In general, there is little involvement with the environment. Only 23% of Spaniards consider themselves someone with more sustainable habits than the majority. However, significant progress is reflected, since 80% of Spaniards claim to have more sustainable habits compared to five years ago.
