Weight & Heredity

Tropic Food Sources, the Basic Daily Diet: People from the tropical regions thrive best on a diet that is rich in carbohydrates. Fruits, grains, legumes and vegetables are best processed by the body than foods containing fat and animal products.

Fruits include many exotics such as pineapples, pomegranates, allspice, breadfruit, papaya, coconut, jackfruit, bananas and kumquats.

The interesting thing about food sources is that the quality of the crop is influenced by the soil, the region and the climate where it is grown. Ideally, one should enjoy crops produced in the climate or zone in which they live.

Tropical Climate & How It Relates to Weight: The climate of the Tropics requires almost constant hydration. When an abundance of sugary beverages is consumed, unwanted pounds may be reflected on the weight scales.

Warmer climates do allow time for exercise in the outdoors, but one must be respective of the sun. Activity helps manage weight, strengthens muscles, the respiratory system, the heart and helps relieve harmful stress.

Tropical Health Concerns/Issues: Tropical diseases, infectious diseases, cultural issues, limited health resources and obesity are just a few topics that influence healthcare in the Tropics.
