Australia: Do not pursue high-intensity sports. There is a motto in competitive sports: Faster, higher and stronger. Many bodybuilders also integrate this requirement into their own lives. But in the eyes of Australians, it is not the first choice for health to constantly pursue the limits of the body and overload the body. Their health philosophy is that they should stimulate the body and brain to benefit from seemingly simple interactive activities, such as games and singing. Sonia Johnson, an Australian living in new york, said that the implementation of this concept began in childhood, which not only helps to improve children's spirit of exploring various sports, but also strengthens the relationship between parents and children.
Comments: "Faster, higher and stronger" is only suitable for competitive sports, not for general fitness, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
France: Enjoy every bite of delicious food. In the fast-paced life, many people are used to gorging, eating while walking, or stuffing popcorn into their mouths mechanically when watching movies. But in France, there is a saying "Enjoy your food and don't swallow it in a hurry". This tradition has benefited French nationals a lot. It is found that paying full attention to food during eating helps to control hunger and enhance satiety, thus playing a role in strengthening the body and preventing type 2 diabetes. This diet, together with good habits such as controlling food intake and eating less processed food, has become an important reason for the health of French people.
Comments: Chewing slowly is indeed a good habit, which is conducive to the full absorption and digestion of food nutrition, thus promoting gastrointestinal health.
Iceland: Swimming is also social. You can hardly find a town without a public swimming pool in Iceland. Swimming is a good whole-body exercise, which is good for blood vessel health, but Icelanders like swimming for more than that. For Icelanders, swimming is not only a sport, but also a popular social way. Beckfield believes that the Icelanders have given swimming a new meaning, that is, swimming "lets us be together". Studies have confirmed that having a satisfactory close social relationship will make people happier, healthier and live longer.
Comments: Swimming is a good whole-body exercise. If you have the conditions, you should always swim and exercise. A swimming coach in Beijing combined swimming with "Tai Chi" and created "Tai Chi Swimming on Water", which has a better effect.
India: Walking barefoot at home. If you visit an Indian home, you need to take off your shoes outside the door. Because in Indian culture, this shows a kind of respect. But now more and more studies have found that walking barefoot on different planes is like a comprehensive massage of the nerves on the soles of the feet, which is helpful to promote health, for example, improving immune function and resisting inflammation. People with diabetes or neuralgia are advised to wear socks.
Comments: There are 6 meridians connecting zang-fu organs in the human foot, and there are more than 60 acupoints in the foot. It is an indisputable fact that barefoot walking helps to promote health, which is worth popularizing in warm seasons. But in the cold season, it is not recommended to walk barefoot, otherwise it will do harm to the body.
Japan: Hot spring bathing is a daily routine. In Japan, you don't need to plan a hot spring holiday, because for them, taking a hot spring bath is no different from brushing your teeth on weekdays, which is a very simple and common thing. Soaking in hot springs can not only promote metabolism, enhance muscle strength, but also improve stress resistance. Studies have found that soaking in mineral-rich hot springs can treat anxiety, even more effective than taking medicine.
Comments: Hot springs are good for your health, but most people in China don't have this condition. In view of the situation in China, it is also a good choice to advocate soaking feet every day.
Sweden: Eat only seasonal fruits and vegetables. Sweden is a country with distinctive seasonal characteristics: cold and dark in winter and warm and bright in summer. Swedes also continue this seasonal difference in the choice of diet types. Swedes don't try to eat raw tomato salad when it snows heavily in winter and the temperature hovers around 0 degrees Celsius. In February, there will be no more strawberries in the Swedish market. Kalifa Noel, a gourmet from San Francisco, once spent some time in Sweden. She thinks that Swedes are used to eating local seasonal fruits and vegetables, which is very beneficial to their health.
Comments: As the saying goes, one side of the soil and water raises one side. Eating local fruits and vegetables can prevent physical injury caused by gastrointestinal discomfort; Fruits and vegetables are fresh in season, the probability of bacterial infection is low, and the loss of nutrients is less. Therefore, eating local and seasonal fruits and vegetables is very beneficial to health. However, with the improvement of living conditions and technical level, you don't have to reject foreign fruits and vegetables blindly, you can eat them properly, but you shouldn't eat too much at a time.
UK: Eating at home is very common. When a family in London visited, the size of their refrigerator surprised Kalifa. "Compared with American families, refrigerators in Britain are too small." This is of course a good thing, because the capacity of refrigerators is limited, people have to go out to buy fresh ingredients frequently, thus avoiding the accumulation of a large number of processed foods. More importantly, the size of the refrigerator has not affected the British people's enthusiasm for cooking at home. On the contrary, their enthusiasm for eating at home is far higher than that for eating out. The health benefits of this traditional habit have long been confirmed by research: eating at home can reduce calorie intake and make people eat healthier.
Comments: Eating at home does have many benefits. First of all, we can control the intake of oil and salt, which is helpful to prevent various chronic diseases. Secondly, the quality of oil is guaranteed, so some restaurants may use inferior oil to cook. Thirdly, the ingredients are fresh and clean, which can ensure hygiene when cooking. Finally, eating at home is very cost-effective, which is conducive to the formation of a good tradition of thrift and housekeeping, especially when the family sits around the table, which can enhance family feelings. For China people, we should regain the tradition of eating at home.
