Obesity Is Practically Nonexistent
Genetic diseases are more prevalent in Amish communities as a result of inbreeding, but these people do get to enjoy other health benefits thanks to their lifestyle. Amish communities have lower rates of obesity, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.
This is likely because Amish people don’t smoke or drink and they eat diets of almost entirely organic foods.
