Fewer than 5%....

This report describes three health targets/national lifestyle guidelines for Australians:

• 2 1/2 hours of moderate intensity exercise per week
• 2 x 1/2 cup servings of fruit per day
• 5 1/2 cup servings of vegetables per day

According to the results of the Australian National Health Survey 2004-5:

• exercise: achieved by 25%
• fruit: achieved by 55%
• vegetables: achieved by 15%

However: fewer than 5% met all three targets. Men had poorer rates than women, and overweight/obese people had poorer rates too.

All of which has direct implications for obesity and disease. (The survey included 16,000 people).

Me? I'm meeting them all, now.
