5 nutritious habits of the planet's healthiest countries

http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/diet.fitness/08/31/cl.worldly.advice/index.html

Take note of the healthy habits of the countries listed. India figures in the healthy spices list.

I like the following points,

- Try one new type of fruit from your local market each week.

- "hara hachi bu," which in Japanese translates to "eight parts out of 10" and means stop eating when 80 percent full. (Very difficult for me ;)

- Skip the prepared food aisles at the market and choose fresh, whole foods.
