Foreign countries are in top position in the aspect of fitness. And the most surprising thing is India is not in a list of top 10. Yes, if we short out the countries which are good in fitness then there will be hardly any sign of India. I’m not saying about the sportsmen or the persons who get parts in Olympics. All I’m saying is about the fitness of the whole nation. And the news is like that, India is not at all a healthy country in spite of being the birth place of Yoga. Isn’t it shameful? The percentage of obesity, diabetes and others regular problems are higher in India than the foreign countries. Now the question is what’s the difference between them and us?Well, the answer could be the difference in“Lifestyle”. The wealth of the nation indirectly depends upon its health. If anyone can get the glory of a healthy country to India then it’s you people. Now it’s the time to adopt a healthy lifestyle and a health without any disease. Here’s the reasons of the fitness of 10 foreign countries. Have a look.
GREECE

RUSSIA

SPAIN
There is a ritual of ‘Two hour nap’ in mid-day which is known as “Siesta”. It helps to lower the stress level and ensures that the people are having optimum rest.
FRANCE
They take a moderate amount of red wine that keeps their heart healthy. They walk for a huge mile on a daily basis. That can be a secret of their fitness.
