Everyone’s trying to discover the formula to help them lose weight. It seems obesity has become one of the most favorite problems in our world. No matter what, it seems the problem doesn’t want to fade away from their face. But have you realized in the third world countries obesity is not a common disease? Well, obesity has threatened leading and developing countries. But for third world countries, it seems obesity is not a big deal.

How could people in third world countries win over this situation? Easy. Because they are not lazy and because they drink more mineral water than we do. These two simple situations do not look crucial but actually they are very important. In big cities, you can see cars and motorcycles everywhere. It’s very different compared to third world countries.

The main roads in developed countries are always full of walking people. Sometimes I wonder why in advanced cities like in Japan, China, or USA, people prefer to use cars rather than walking. The indirect effect of this is wonderful. Less and less people get affected by obesity. Very different right with our daily live? We are simply too lazy.

The next big difference is they eat more fiber and they drink more mineral water. I remember in some countries cokes and sweet drinks are more popular than mineral water. This is crazy! Every drink beside mineral water is empty calorie. You might not be aware of it but when you drink only mineral water, actually you have big chance to lose weight.

One more, as I said before, poor people eat more fiber. Lots of beans and lentils are used by people in Africa. Indirectly, it affects their weight. So if you only eat carbohydrate and fat, I’m not surprised if you find it hard to lose weight. Remember these simple tips, they can change your life forever. Exercise is important but what you eat and drink are always more important.
