Greek Longevity Secrets from an island in Greece called Ikaria

A remote Greek Island reveals the secrets to living longer. It is
amazing that one-third of the population of a mountainous,
99-square-mile island in Greece called Ikaria, are 90 years of age and
older.


In contrast, current U.S. Census stats indicate that only one in nine baby boomers will reach 90.


Investigations into the remarkable longevity of these Greek islanders
have proven very interesting. Not only do they live longer, but they
have 20 percent less cases of cancer than Americans and about half the
rate of heart disease as well as one-ninth the rate of diabetes. They
have virtually no Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.
