How healthy and mentally resilient are Singaporeans compared to our Asian neighbours? Seems like we all need to work on these a bit more, if a recent study is anything to go by.
In terms of knowing just what to do to be healthy and fit, Singaporeans aren’t too far off from the average Asia score. But “knowing” and “doing” what it takes to keep you energised are quite different things. The survey shows that only 55 per cent of Singaporeans have enough energy to carry them through the day and noted that perhaps “external barriers such as lack of time stop them from living a healthier lifestyle”.
For starters, only about half say they eat more whole foods than processed ones, while nearly half eat a balanced diet. But when it comes to hydration, the majority of us are chugging enough water throughout the day. Mum would be proud.If you think a lack of work-life balance is the cause of our stress, the survey has other findings. Compared to the other countries, Singapore scored lower in terms of being proactive in our personal development.
