/ -- Key findings:
81% of fathers prioritizing financial goals over their health goals. Their children's future concerns them more than their own health
While most fathers worry about their health, only 20% take proactive action to remain healthy
93% work 6-7 days a week and 85% feel that their demanding careers don't allow for a proper work-life balance
Diet plans and adequate sleep are preferred health measures over physical exercise. 46% feel lack of time is biggest obstacle in achieving their health and wellness goals
Rakesh Wadhwa, Chief Marketing Officer, Future Generali India Life Insurance Company commented, "Through this study, we wanted to understand life's priorities of Indian fathers and their health habits. While health is one of most talked about subjects in families, our fast-paced lifestyle is increasingly taking away personal time from us. Young fathers who neglect their health are far more prone to lifestyle diseases and work-related stress than ever before. As the study indicated, fathers often end up sacrificing their own health goals while providing the best for their children. We believe that health is your true wealth and therefore, it should be prioritised over any other financial goal you may wish to achieve in life."
