Walking a Way of Life

The article points out that French women don’t work out; they walk.

This daily physical activity is one of the reasons they tend to be thinner.
Having a car in any European city is a challenge. As a result, city folks do
plenty of walking, and in the country, they walk or ride bicycles. And when
French people walk or drive, they usually are not eating, drinking coffee in
cardboard cups, or talking on cell phones.

Another thing that was noticed is that it’s virtually impossible to find a
non-smoking zone, in the city or the country. Smoking is a way of life, much
like sitting
in the cafes.

Perhaps all that coffee and cigarettes helps dull the appetite and helps
explain why the French are slim. Of course, we all know that smoking is
unhealthy
and certainly not a good way to get weight under control.

Viva la difference. What can we take away from these unscientific though
spot on observations? Well, I’m feeling a bit inspired to slow down, savor
the flavor, taste and aroma of my meals, eat whatever I like in small
portions, and keep on walking. Keep on working out with intense interval
training a few times a week, and really enjoying life!

What do you think? I’d love to hear your take on this. Please leave a
comment regarding the French paradox.
