You would probably assume that all Monks are in great physical health? Well contrary to your beliefs they have an unhealthy diet and it is not exactly their. After doing a bit of digging we found an article on the\u00a0Buddhist\u00a0Channel<\/a>\u00a0with some pretty interesting stats.<\/p>\n

\"\"But\u00a0a new study suggests this lack of activity is not as healthy as one would assume. The investigation by Thai academics has discovered that 45 per cent of monks are obese while a full 40 per cent of them suffer from congenital diseases such as diabetes and high blood\u00a0pressure. Many of them also suffer from various allergies.<\/p>\n
