The happiest and healthiest places for women

THINK RIGHT
WINNER Adelaide, SA

South Australians lead the country for healthy attitudes towards food, with Adelaide women having more concern than the rest of Australia for fat levels, labels, fibre content, kilojoules, nutrition and fresh food, according to ABHC figures. The reason for their good food attitude? Their location. “It often comes down to what food is available in local supermarkets and stores,” says Aloysa Hourigan, Senior Nutritionist and Nutrition Program Manager for Nutrition Australia Qld. “The cost of food increases significantly in rural and remote areas, while a lack of public transport can hinder the ability to access shops that stock healthy food.” If you have trouble getting fresh food easily, consider a home delivery service such as fruitnveg4u.com.au.
