Differences in northern and southern diets lead to differences in obesity rates.
Brother, I saw a map saying that people in some parts of China are more likely to gain weight. Is that true?
Yes, it is. Many people in the north prefer wheat-based foods, and the flavors are saltier and oilier, so it’s easier to gain weight.
What about the south? Do people gain weight there too?
In the south, the food is lighter, the climate is warmer, and people tend to exercise more, so obesity rates are relatively lower.
So what you eat really affects whether you gain weight or not.
Exactly. It’s also related to the weather, exercise habits, and lifestyle. It’s not something that changes overnight.
So should we exercise more?
Of course! If you stay active every day and eat healthily, you won’t have to worry about gaining weight.
