Italy

Italians enjoy a leisurely walk after dinner, rather than sitting down in front of a screen. Investing just 10 to 15 minutes can improve your health through:

  • Lowering your blood sugar
  • Improving your digestion, which could mean lower rates of heartburn
  • Lowering your blood pressure
  • Reducing your risk of depression

Keep it light, though — vigorous exercise could actually delay digestion.
