A semester abroad in Milan sounds in the beginning always like a dream. Just the thought about all the good food like pizza and pasta and not to forget all the sweet treats like Italian ice-cream, tiramisu and all the other really delicious things. Also, there is a thing called “Aperitivo”, where you get for a really cheap price a nice cocktail and you have access to a buffet where you can treat yourself with all kind of food.

Milan scored in 2016 an average of 37 micrograms of PM10 particulate per cubic metre in the air, which was significant above the recommended upper rate. PM10 pollution, which consists of fine particles less than 10 micrometres in diameter can easily be inhaled.

And how can we achieve staying healthy and in shape without spending hundreds of Euros for a gym, because if you just want to have a membership for a few months it is really sure to say that you have to pay between 60 to 150€ per month for a good place.

So, you have to find alternatives and maybe ask yourself how the Milanese people make it work.

Not only sufficient exercise is important to stay healthy, but also a healthy and varied diet. In order to buy many healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables, various weekly markets around Milan offer a great and inexpensive opportunity. Weekly different markets take place in streets and squares. Thanks to low food prices, people with a small budget can afford regional food of good quality. And of course, thanks to all the different kind of social media it is possible to find lots of inspirations of how to work with all the healthy food and create a delicious meal.

So, coming back to our question “how to stay healthy in Milan?”. It is definitely possible to stay healthy in Milan, even though if you have sometimes a good Aperitivo with new friends, and if you live on a budget.
