90% of Israelis are happy with their lives, half exercise regularly

Tuesday’s annual Central Bureau of Statistics snapshot of the nation includes the findings that the vast majority of Israelis say they are satisfied with their lives, nearly one-third struggle to pay their bills and just over half exercise regularly.

According to the CBS report, 89 percent of Israelis say they are satisfied with their lives, though 37% are unhappy with their financial situation and 31% say they struggle to pay the bills.

Israelis, or at least 84% of them, say they are in good or very good health, and half, 51%, say they exercise regularly.

Perhaps that’s why Israelis enjoy relatively long lifespans, which hit 84.6 years for women and 80.7 for men in the past year.
