That's Fit

I've managed to do a bit of traveling over the past few years and in every country -- America, Canada, England, Scotland, Australia -- the health news was the same; the amount of people who are overweight, and even obese, in these countries is skyrocketing. Apparently the story is the same in many Westernized nations.

The writer of this article, however, found that the Swiss have managed to maintain a healthy relationship with food and as a result, continue to be relatively fit. It's not that Swiss citizens have give up on all the tasty stuff out there, but rather that they know how to enjoy in moderation. Apparently they still eat rich chocolate and delicious cheese, but they eat stuff made with quality ingredients and they only have small amounts at a time. Wine is sipped in moderation as well, as they serve drinks from smaller glasses. According to the article, if you dine off smaller plates and drink from smaller glasses, you'll end up consuming less.

There are a few more tips listed to help the rest of us live healthy-Swiss-habit-related lives and none of them involve depriving oneself or giving up tasty food altogether. So check it out and see if there are any ideas that will work for you.
