Spanish the secret of life-style happily ever after

For Spain it is not typical of the high standard of living. But, however, here is one of the highest life expectancy. Even when compared with the centenarians of the richest of England. In addition, the Spanish population never differed a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, the question of how this is possible, it seems completely natural.
In trying to uncover the secrets of the inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula, we can distinguish several features:

1. The Spaniards eat the right foods. The legendary Mediterranean cuisine – the object of research of many nutritionists, theme, consecrated in thousands of books. All because a menu is one of the most favorable for health. Fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs, fish, olive oil – the main range of the Spanish markets and the main ingredients of the Mediterranean. Spanish food is simple and served in small portions that are eaten with the addition of drinks. The result of this way of eating – fewer eaten by a rapid saturation.
2. One of the main laws of life in Spain – the gradualness and deliberation. Especially if we are talking about lunch. Local residents believe the savagery of snacking on chips or a sandwich on the go. In this country decided to spend a long lunch at a nearby restaurant for a pleasant conversation. In most of the local restaurants offered meals, called "del dia", which includes appetizer, main course, dessert, coffee and drink. The average price of such a proposition 8-10 euros.
3. Second sanctum is a family. Strolling through the Park at the weekend to meet the family, consisting of grandparents, children, grandchildren, who are chosen together on the boardwalk. Older generations often live together with the younger.
4. The Spaniards are very fond of children. In this country there are no hotels or restaurants "child free". The tourists who came to this country with your child, become the center of attention and emotion. Walking down the streets, you can hear not one compliment about yourself and your baby.
5. Residents of Spain do not suppress your emotions and words. This country is not about diplomacy. If the Spaniard would think that someone near him is closed or offended, he will certainly ask about it. Of course, the violation of personal space irritates the unaccustomed citizens. And the local population loves to discuss topics of an intimate health without any embarrassment. In addition, the use of obscene words here are not shy. The most vulgar expressions you can hear from the older citizens and young children. And, it is worth noting, in Spanish these expressions are quite interesting.
6. They are night dwellers. Spanish families sit down to dinner after 21:00, enjoying long conversations. And after that wish to go to the nearest bar or nightclub, many of which begin to work only after midnight. By the way, this nation is considered to be the most skilled dancers in the world.

Probably strength for such a lifestyle the Spaniards draw from the Siesta, which lasts from 13:00 to 17:00. Many employers try to reduce this tradition. But while it was not successful.
