I love travelling to Italy for so many reasons but savoring the regional food is always a highlight of course. I was also pleased to see that my country is placed at number three on the healthiest list!
Hi Paula, yes the regional food and wines are so delicious. The passagiata, the food and the people are great examples of living health.
One of the many wonderful reasons I love to visit Italy so much. I am actually surprised to see Australia so high on the healthy list. We have all the right reasons to be healthy but it is not necessarily adhered to.
When you can eat healthy and delicious you have a winning combination.
I dread to think where the UK appears on the list George but I can certainly vouch for the Italian health system having tested Venice’s A&E department in full last year!! They could not have been more professional, thorough and extremely comforting. Fabulous fabulous service!
That is great to hear
