How does the average Canberran's health stack up?
Canberra mum of two Nicole Crandell knows the benefits of keeping fit and staying active.
She's an instructor at Aerial Sports in Mitchell and it comes as no surprise to her that Canberrans are far more likely to be active than residents of any other jurisdiction, according to data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
"In general I try to do something most days," she said.
"It gives you more energy and you tend to eat better as well.
"It helps with self love because if you feel good, you're more likely to think you look good too."
The latest health statistics released by the bureau showed some mixed results for the state of Canberran's health.
In good news, Territory residents are the most likely in the country to get some form of exercise.
Just 11 per cent of Territory residents reported getting no physical activity compared to Queensland where 24 per cent of people did not exercise.
Canberrans are the least likely in the country to drink sugary drinks while we're the most likely to consume diet drinks.
But we could be eating a lot more fruit with 52 per cent of people reporting inadequate fruit consumption, worse than the national average of 49 per cent.
Not many of us are getting enough veggies on our plate with 94 per cent not eating the recommended amount.
We are a little more round than the national average with 38 per cent of us overweight, based on our body mass index.
But we are the least likely in the country to be considered obese at 26 per cent - far below the national average of 31 per cent.
In news that comes as no surprise for anyone who sneezes their way through much of the year in Canberra, the Territory has the highest rates of hay-fever in the country.
We are also more likely to binge drink than the national average with 44 per cent of Canberrans drinking more than four drinks on a single occasion.
Better news when it comes to smoking with just 11 per cent of Canberrans daily smokers - the lowest rate in the country.
The bureau's director of health statistics Louise Gates said the typical Australian male weighed 87kg and stood 175cm tall and was therefore overweight while the typical female weighed 72kg and was 161cm tall and was also overweight.
“On average, we were doing 42 minutes of exercise every day, which mostly consisted of walking for transport or walking for exercise (24.6 minutes), however we didn’t participate in sufficient strength and toning activities", she said.
"In addition, 44 per cent of us spent most of our work day sitting.
“More than half of us were eating the recommended daily intake of fruit but not enough vegetables, with only 7.5 per cent of adults eating the recommended daily serves of vegetables."
In good news, while 79 per cent of us consumed alcohol in the last year, we did so at safe levels.
