In Elizabethan times, people took baths only 4-5 times a year due to the lack of running water. Water had to be sourced from lakes or springs, making it often dirty and unsafe. For cleaner water used in cooking or washing, boiling was essential. The dietary habits varied significantly: the wealthy enjoyed a diet rich in meats, breads, candy, beer, and various fruits and vegetables, while the poor subsisted on fish, bread, and inexpensive wine or beer. This overview sheds light on the sanitation and eating practices of the era.
