Flipping through Time magazine, I came across some interesting figures. The magazine conducted polls on how the recession is affecting our spending habits, and the statistics that interested me were all health- and fitness-related – go figure. Here are a few numbers to chew on: Percentage of people who have not filled a medical prescription due to the cost: 20 Percentage of folks spending less on health clubs: 27 Amount of respondents spending more time exercising:

29 percent Percentage of people who have postponed or canceled a medical or dental procedure: 24 I am wondering about you all and how the recession is affecting you, your health, and your health spending habits. Have you quit your gym or not filled a prescription? Are you exercising more as well as skipping your dental visits? Tell me in the comments section below. Source
