I just got back from 22 days in Italy. Take away. 1. Walking culture. 2. The food is fresh, natural, and tastes 2-3x better than in the US. I was making absolutely epic dishes with super basic ingredients and a not particularly complete kitchen. 3. Lower pace of life. Things moved slowly.

And? My stress / anxiety are very very low. My smile? Pretty big. Also didn't gain any weight despite eating very very well.


I believe in the situational theory to health (which, I may have just coined the term). That is, your situation will greatly drive your outcome. If you eat crap. Sleep crap. Don't exercise and stress out. The outcome is somewhat predictable. You will feel like crap and not be healthy.

We have choices that can drive long term results.
