With its rugged coastline, palm-lined coral beaches, and lagoons, Fiji is an ideal destination for those seeking a tropical climate. But beyond the utopian landscape is a multicultural society burdened with a health crisis. If you enjoyed the video, kindly hit that 👍 button and subscribe. Thanks 🙏

Lovely attitude from a family that can do with

[unavaka]

Thanks for the video Ivan, its always enlightening to hear peoples stories.We get to appreciate my people, their endurance and kindness always shines through any tough situation .

[EddieTomasi]

That is so sad. As indigenous Fijian, someone has to stand up to help this situation. To my seventh day adventist religion in Fiji. This is what we should do to help our people like this.

[PeteInoke]

Ivan before you visit a country try and do a research about that country.I hope you have contributed some of your wealth to that family for giving their time and enabling you to create your content and get your money every month through your channel.

I am amazed at the spirit of this family to stay strong despite all the challenges. ❤️🇵🇬.

The diet of both native fijians and indo-fijians have very high sugar content - both added sugar as well as natural sugar/starch in the form of root crop staples, adding sugar to tea, rice, flour, sweets, oily food which are taken on a daily basis, with very little daily physical activity and alot of sitting down around grog bowls. All these add up

[noblelady]

I am a Fijian and I admire how this family survived for this long despite the daily struggles they face each day. It proves that we Fijians are resilient people and will not be discouraged by any challenges that come our way for the sake of surviving and enjoying the freedom and company of loved ones. Most people in Fiji despite the hardships they face, are happy because of the environment they are in. I plead with the government of the day to reach out and provide intervention programs in promoting Health and well-being and training in our diverse communities. God Bless my beautiful Fiji🇫🇯🇫🇯❤️😇

U r great journalist with very interesting topics and nice people

[Kaiveikau]

The wages in Fiji are very low, and the food prices are too high. There are many multimillion-dollar hotels, but the staff are paid very little. This is why people are moving overseas for better opportunities. Last week, Fiji Water staff went on strike due to these issues. I hope that our country will improve one day. I appreciate the positivity and passion the bed ridden guy has for his country. Yes, diabetes is very high in Fiji because of our diet. We consume too much oily food and carbs, and we drink alot of raw sugar. In every household, a normal breakfast is tea and bread with four tablespoons of sugar in one cup of tea thats normal. We need to change our diet and need a dramatic change for every household.

Thanks for your video, much Love, now you gotta try some kava. 😂😂😂

[Hodgepodge-hn]

Not Just Fiji but most of the Islands in the South pacific have the same problems.. American Samoa eat lots of canned and processed foods that is ship there and is supported by the U.S. Government

[mariasingh]

I live in Fiji, I blame excessive kava consumption as well late night kava cessions, diet is a big problem too much starchy and oily foods

[PamelaAttwood]

Ivain, , the medical facilities in many Pacific nations eg. Fiji, Tonga, Western Samoa do have their limitations. There is huge issues with heart disease and kidney diseases and transplants can not be done in some countries. This why there is so much amputation done there. Some patients are transferred to Australia and New Zealand in some cases. This another reason why work visas that lead to Residency are sort after by Pacific Islanders. Some also have treatment for cancer and head injuries in Australia and NZ. There are charities from both countries that do work over there and send Doctor's over to assess health issues. Some procedures can be done in the Islands with the medical charities. Cataracts and other eye surgery is in demand too .

Yadra Ivain, Bula Hello from California, USA. Just happen to come across your video. Thanks, do appreciate your contents and like what you doing and thanks for doing this video.
Just wondering where are you based at. Maybe I missed it, where was this video made, where about in Fiji they live? This is a 9 months old video, don't know if you still posting new ones, will check videos anyway. I didn't know that diabetes was such a big problem in Fiji.

[kari.hq.official]

Good video it is not easy to ask the hard question. Much Respect!

[purnimaram]

For me, a fiji native, fiji is paradise; better than most african countries. Most people complaining would, nevertheless, pay $200 to see ranbir kapoor if he comes to perform in fiji.

[PACIFIC]

BIENG A FIJIAN ...AND WATCHING THIS VEDIOS..PIERCES MY HEART..BUT ITS A LITERALL TRUTH ..THAT SOME UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE DO SUFFER IN EXTREME SITUATIONS IN FIJI .THE GOVERNMENT IS NEGLIGENT.

[alimtanta]

Brother Ivan, your travels and indigenous local issues are impactful; you should be doing this more. by every country you travel to. This would boost your channel. Showing both parts of having fun as a tourist and also locals and their daily problems

[richieredw]

Please stop badgering the family in that way...a seasoned traveller like you should know that in many poorer countries things just doesnt work out like in the west...try to understand that.

[mikechin]

Interesting video, Ivain. The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear Fiji is a beautiful tropical country that's known for one of the best exotic vacation destinations, but I never knew this side of the country existed. That family is really going through a hard time. It's really sad to hear their story. I could only imagine how many other cases like this exist throughout the country. I hope they'll get much needed help after people watch this video. I have heard about the high cases of diabetes in Fiji. I hear that poor diet is one of the major causes. Thank you for sharing this video. Great content. I enjoyed watching 👍👍👍.
