Simple...*!

One-third of US adults are currently obese. Japan and India's, obesity rates fall below five percent.

While national obesity rates depend on many factors, they probably have a lot to do with lifestyle and culture, including what people eat and how they eat it.

With globalization, some foods and eating habits have migrated around the world (for better or for worse). For example, les steaks hachés sounds like a typical French food, but it’s actually the meaty part of Le Big Mac (and hardly part of traditional cuisine).

Japan- It’s all in the presentation. We all know about the health benefits of seafood (omega-3s!) and veggies. One unexpected habit to steal from Japanese eating culture is the emphasis placed on food’s appearance. Small portions and colorful, seasonal vegetables make for a visually appealing and healthy plate. The small portions may help to keep calories in check, while bright veggies provide a range of healthy vitamins and minerals.

Mexico- Traditional Mexican culture includes, a mid-day feast that’s the largest in the day not dinner. 

Beans definitely deserve the title of “superfood” due to their high levels of protein, fiber, and vitamins. Go for dried or low-sodium canned beans for a healthier burrito.

Just A thought.
