It’s 12:15 pm in Paris.
Outside in the narrow street, you can hear the clicking sound that a pair of high heels makes on the beautiful stone pavement.
Click, clack. Click, clack. Click, clack.
Down the alley goes a French girl in her late thirties. Slim, sexy and petite, her short dress fits her perfectly – with none of the usual embarrassing fat hanging everywhere.
Behind her walks a handsome man that looks like he’s in his 30s but he’s really in his late 40s or early 50s, judging by his short salt and pepper hair.
His fitted black shirt clearly reveals a toned, muscular body, free of any of the usual beer belly, love handles and man boobs you would sadly expect from any American man at that age.
They both enter a small café to indulge in their favorite lunchtime foods after skipping “breakfast”.
A strong black coffee, some pieces of fruits, fatty cheese and a croissant with butter – all foods that will help them burn fat and keep their lean body.
Think it’s impossible? It’s not.
It’s what researchers call…
“The Mysterious French Paradox”.
Despite regularly eating high-fat cheeses, delicious breads, red meat, while topping it off with liters of exquisite red wine, the French still seem to magically be able to prevent fat gain.
But that’s really just the tip of the iceberg.
Researchers from the University of Harvard found that this paradox applies to the French’s brain health, blood pressure, cholesterol and heart health – all largely superior to Americans. (Reference: The Harvard Mahoney Neuroscience Institute Letter, Winter 2007, Vol. 13, No. 1)
Some studies are trying to prove that resveratrol – a special antioxidant found in red wine – is responsible for all these amazing benefits.
But c’mon! We all know that’s total B.S.
Wine consumption has grown exponentially across the globe over the last several years and people are obviously NOT getting leaner. In fact, the exact opposite is happening. People are getting sicker and fatter.
There’s something else the french are doing. A secret that all the doctors and researchers are missing out on…
