It seems like our favorite excuse: "There just aren't enough hours in the day." It gets us out of workouts, concocting nutritious homemade meals, sleeping enough.
But does health have to be a trade-off with time? A new study examined the time American adults spend on beneficial behavior and found that many of us aresacrificing one health-promoting activity for another. Among health-minded folk, a10-minute increase in meal prep time meant a 10-minute shorter workout, MyHealthNewsDaily reported.
"If we assume, for example, that adults have 45 minutes of free time to allocate to health-promoting behaviors, maybe we need to look at that holistically and determine the optimal way to use that time," Rachel Tumin, lead author of the study and epidemiology student at The Ohio State University's College of Public Health, said in a statement.
