Adherence

In low-income regions (Sub-Saharan Africa), rising income significantly increases the intake of processed meat and sugar-sweetened beverages, whereas in high-income regions, these categories often become inferior goods (intake declines with rising income).

If you are in a developing economy, rising income does not automatically mean you will eat healthier. In fact, as income rises in these regions, people tend to buy more processed meats and sugary drinks. To maintain health, you must consciously prioritize whole foods and limit processed items, as market forces will naturally push you toward them.
