Pasta, gelato, wine, cheese... Despite all these indulgent foods, Italian girls still manage to feel light and joyful. What’s their secret?

The question "Why do I feel better in Italy?" has become a TikTok trend. Italy is one of the healthiest countries in the world—even if they eat pizza three times a day! (Those pizzas are made with fresh ingredients and good farming practices.) Let’s explore the healthy habits that Italian girls get right.

1- They take evening walks.

2- They savor their carbohydrates, of course, alongside other macronutrients.

3- They are mindful of where their food comes from.

4- They dedicate special time to eating.

6- They value their social circles, intentionally gathering together often.
