Australians Are Not Very Healthy #unhealthy #australia

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics National Health Survey, Australians are a pretty unhealthy bunch. Only 4.2% of us eat enough fruit and vegetables. Less than one quarter of us get enough exercise. Almost half of us mostly sit throughout the day. Almost two thirds of adults are overweight or obese. Half of us have at least one chronic condition, such as mental health conditions, back problems, arthritis, asthma, or diabetes. But the most telling statistic is that eight in ten people have at least one long-term health condition. Only 18.6% of Australians are considered “healthy” according to the ABS. As I said, we’re an unhealthy bunch.
