Physicians Lead Healthy Lifestyles

According to the recent “Life…supplemented” Healthcare Professionals (HCP) Impact Study, a majority of physicians engage in very healthy behaviors, such as trying to eat a balanced diet (82%), exercising regularly (73%) and taking vitamins and other supplements (72%). Nurses tend to follow a similar wellness checklist, with 87% of them saying they try to eat a balanced diet and 89% taking supplements. But nurses seem to exercise slightly less than doctors, with only 67% saying they exercise regularly. Nurses are also more likely to seek out advice from other healthcare professionals (81% say they visit their own healthcare professional regularly), while only 48% of doctors say they visit a healthcare professional on a regular basis. Despite long hours, nearly two-thirds of physicians and nurses say they regularly get a good night’s sleep (62% of physicians and 65% of nurses). This data comes from The “Life…supplemented” HCP Impact Study of 1177 healthcare professionals (300 primary care physicians, 301 OB/GYNs, 299 other physician specialists, and 277 registered nurses and nurse practitioners), which was conducted last year by Ipsos-Public Affairs on behalf of the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), Washington, D.C.
