I saw this at the train station and I thought it was definitely a cultural difference in advertisement! But they looked like real carrots to me and it made me want to go eat some vegetables so this ad promotes healthy behaviors! #CULHLTuwlax #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

@EmilyRolf1 @uwldolcevita That is a really good point! I love hanging out and playing games with my friends when I’m stressed!

There was a food market in the parking lot for the holiday today. This caused stress for us since there was so many people! The amazing smell of the fresh food did help lower the stress levels a little bit but not quite enough unfortunately. #ABNRISKuwlax #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

The puppet show that was put on for a little bit tonight made a lot of people laugh, including me! Laughing is great for your mental health and is a way to protect yourself from mental health disorders too! #ABNPROuwlax #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

@katie_barreau @uwldolcevita These birds definitely scared me today when they would fly so close to our heads! #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

Partaking in traditions that have been created by a culture is a great way to smile and have hope for what is to come in the future! Hope and a smile are both awesome things for your health too! #CULHLTuwlax #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

Seeing the beautiful houses on the lake today can make someone jealous of others who have enough money to live there! Jealousy can be a terrible thing if it is blown out of proportion and is also a risk factor for a mental health disorder. #ABNRISKuwlax #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

This garbage is clearly overflowing yet people are still adding to it which is creating litter! Litter is polluting our land which is environmentally very unhealthy for humans and animals! #HLTLuwlax #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

@jordanstuhr @uwldolcevita Looks like Emily is rehydrating fully!! Good job, and we should all do the same! #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

[Kayla Fingerson @ItalyKayla]

@EmilyRolf1 @uwldolcevita I feel the same way! I definitely should have chose the healthier salad option tonight also instead of the calzone! #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

[Kayla Fingerson @ItalyKayla]

They had a lot of fresh fish at the PAM market today which is definitely a positive aspect of health. Fish is much healthier for you than other protein choices, especially when it is fresh! #HLTLuwlax #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

Going to the library or reading a book you enjoy is a relaxing way to unwind after a long day! This is a great protective factor against mental health disorders so it was great to see a library here in Milan! #ABNPROuwlax #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

Eating a lot of fruit is great for your health, even when you are on vacation! Out of the many snacks you can choose here fruit is one of the best! Good job Dr. Q! #HLTLuwlax #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

@dpetersen0202 @uwldolcevita It is also some awesome entertainment for us while we are waiting for the train! #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

Inside this casket was a skull and even some skin I think. This can be traumatizing to people and in some cultures, people prefer a closed casket so this might be a risk factor or stressor for someone from a culture who is not used to that. #ABNRISKuwlax #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

[Kayla Fingerson @ItalyKayla]

This extra virgin olive oil has been pressed multiple times which means it is not as thick and greasy! This is much healthier for you than the olive oil in the US and is a cultural difference that the Italians have mastered. #CULHLTuwlax #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

[Kayla Fingerson @ItalyKayla]

I didn’t get a picture of the actual bell that was ringing today, but when it was first hit it startled everyone! This combined with a fear of heights that some were experiencing can definitely be a risk factor or a trigger! #ABNRISKuwlax #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

[Kayla Fingerson @ItalyKayla]

@jordanstuhr @uwldolcevita Making the homemade pizzas was definitely good for my health and was also fun way to experience the culture of Italy!! #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

[Kayla Fingerson @ItalyKayla]

This gelato shop in Florence had huge portion sizes! It is unhealthy to have a huge portion of anything, even gelato! This is not a normal thing in Italian culture as their portion sizes are usually much smaller! #CULHLTuwlax #2018ldv @uwldolcevita

@dpetersen0202 @uwldolcevita This was a great workout for all of us! And lifting the suitcases up the stairs was a good workout for our arms as well! #2018ldv @uwldolcevita
