Going into the healthcare field is one of the most rewarding career choices one can make. But, due to the nature of the industry, it often doesn’t leave much time — or energy — for basic personal health. In fact, a study by Southern Cross University, of more than 6,000 nurses found that nearly 30% had some chronic illness, including obesity and heart disease. It’s important that healthcare professionals are working to stay healthy and happy, despite the odds, by committing to reducing stress, eating better, and making changes to their lifestyles.
