Better food in Europe than in the United States

Balance between personal life and work
For the travel and wellness content creator, Finding balance between work pressures and her daily life also contributed to her weight loss.. Kayleigh says she started work with 29 days of paid vacation, which she was “actually encouraged to take.”
“You don't realize how much a good work-life balance can impact your physical body.“he explains, noting that less stress equates to lower levels of cortisol, which causes “the body to be in a state where it is easier to lose weight.” “I felt like I could disconnect, relax and live life. Physical and mental health go hand in hand,” she believes.
Increased physical activity
The young woman, who has become a certified health advisor in integral nutrition, also believes that “walking everywhere” made “the weight start to disappear”. “I never thought she would be that girl who prefers walking to driving, but that quickly changed when I moved to Europe,” she explains.
“I went from someone who complained about having to walk to the car in the parking lot to someone who thought a 45-minute walk to the store or restaurant was no big deal. Walking became part of my daily life and it helped me improve not only my physical health, but also my mental health,” he reveals in the video made up of several slides.
For Kayleigh the bicycle also became an ally, not only to travel longer distances, but also to gain strength and continue with your goal of reaching a healthy weight. “Driving was really the last option,” he explains, adding that “The infrastructure made it very easy to get anywhere by bike. Many people rode their bike every day to work, to friends' houses, to the supermarket…
He remembers that there were days when he went to the gym, cycled five kilometers to work, took a walk at noon and returned home pedaling his bicycle. “Once I adapted to the European lifestyle, The healthy lifestyle suited me like a glove.or”, he concludes.
