Since the Castro revolution, the longevity of the average Cuban has increased. In part, this longevity is due to a better healthcare delivery system but also, Cubans have been, due to shortages, on a low calorie, low fat diet for decades and have to walk or bicycle to work and recreational areas....ideal body weight, good exercise, low fat diets....something the rest of the World could benefit from doing....and Varadero is a great place to get and stay healthy!!!
