The Essentials

Countries with Healthy Lifestyles

One part of living a healthy lifestyle when you travel is if you happen to go to destinations that already embrace that lifestyle.

Consider Greece. Greeks consume the most amount of vegetables in the world per capita, and their vegetable-based diet might even lead to weight loss.

Are you worried about stress? In France, there’s now a law that gives employees the right to turn their iPhones and laptops off at the end of the day. They have the legal right to disconnect.

And speaking of disconnecting, I love Spain for one compelling reason. Its culture embraces the art — perhaps the necessity — of the siesta. In Spain, they take that all-important nap between noon and 4 p.m. each day.

Veggies, no cell phones and a power siesta. That sounds like a great trip.
