I’m up on my reading and here are some interesting bits.

Stair climbing is good for cardio and depression:

and why do Europeans remain so slim? Not by power walking, but rather meandering outside everyday.

No gym. No money spent. Just relax and go for it.

Europeans generally eat a better diet than us. For example, many foods sold here and in Europe are not the same due to banned ingredients in Europe. They also consume less ultra processed foods.

Then maybe we should follow their lead?

You would have to get past the lobbyists for all the industrialized food production companies in the US. They create calories, not nutrition. Key difference between the US and Europe. Not to mention national health care. Doctors receive bonuses on how healthy their patients are, now how much costs they cut.

Ah, but those renegades who grow their own crops still exist. Even if in smaller quantities.

Sure, but it is difficult to live in the world AND grow your own food year round. Self-sustainability is a full time job. Most people won’t even take the time to purchase quality food and then cook it from scratch.
