The study, conducted by Simply Supplements, was carried out earlier this year revealed that across the UK, 38% of respondents said that they are 'fairly health conscious; I try to make good decisions about what I eat, drink, and how much I exercise'.
This proportion skyrockets to 45% of 25-34-year-olds but lulls to just 30% of 44-54-year-olds, perhaps demonstrating that the younger generation is more health-conscious than their parents' ilk.

On the mental side of matters, 27% of respondents believed that 'thinking positively' would improve their overall health, while 36% said 'having more time to relax and de-stress' would help.
