Preliminary results of a long-term health study of the Lake Nona Community show many strengths and some concerns about area’s overall wellness. The good news: People who live, work and participate in activities in the community have very low levels of smoking. They exercise regularly and have strong support systems. The bad news: They have much higher alcohol and binge drinking rates than the national average, the majority do not eat fruit, dairy or vegetables daily, and nearly one-third report moderate to severe stress in their lives.
