On average, Brits spend around £170 billion per year on health and fitness.That averages to a whopping £2,491.68 a year each.
The NHS has a yearly budget of roughly £150 billion.

People spend a fortune on supplements, protein, and exercise gear that either they don’t need, or never go on to use.
We know that protein powder causes gut issues and sudden spikes in blood sugar. We know that anabolic steroids can cause irreversible heart damage, liver tumours, and stroke.
Would it be fair to say that the money we waste on unhealthy supplements and unwanted gear could be better spent elsewhere?
