THE Queensland Govt, through Health and Wellbeing Queensland, has launched a new statewide campaign - Healthy is Happening - designed to support people make small, practical changes to boost their health and wellbeing.
Health and Wellbeing, the state's prevention agency, surveyed more than 1,600 Queenslanders aged 25-54 around the challenges they faced when trying to live a healthier life.
The new campaign aims to address key issues raised, including cost, lack of time and limited support.
By encouraging small, achievable steps to eat well, move more and prioritise wellbeing, the program highlights the need to "celebrate progress, not perfection".
Dr Robyn Littlewood, chief executive of Health and Wellbeing Queensland, said preventative health measures have significant impacts on long-term health outcomes.
"Movement, nutrition and sleep are three of the most effective ways we can improve our health," she said.
"Even modest increases in physical activity can significantly reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers," she added.
