Residents of the” blue zones ” in the world are known for being able to live a long and healthy life.
Sardinia is home to one of the world’s rare “blue zones” where most people can live up to 100 years or more. The zone consists of a group of villages on an island in Italy, where people live with a genetic “whim” that is associated with unusual longevity, writes Express.
It is noted that in the areas of the blue zone of Ollastra, Barbaggia di Ollolai and Barbaggia di Ceulo, some locals can live to such a venerable age not only due to “undiluted” genes, but also with the help of lifestyle habits.
Sardinians ‘ dinner tables are mostly filled with fruit and vegetables, as well as whole-grain bread and beans, rather than meat, which is usually reserved for Sundays or special events.
Sardinian residents also have family as a priority, and family values ensure that every member of the family receives the necessary care.
“Sardinians are also said to benefit from being part of close – knit communities where older people can live purposeful lives,” the publication adds.
In addition, such a long-term life can be associated with the manifestation of love, care and wisdom that grandparents give to their grandchildren.
“Drinking one or two glasses of red wine a day is also considered an advantage, as is goat’s milk, which can help protect against inflammatory diseases,” the study says. bluezones.com.
It also reduces stress and the risk of heart disease by having fun with friends and family.
Express added that in addition to Sardinia, there are four other blue zones in the world, namely the islands of Okinawa in Japan, the Nikoya Peninsula in Costa Rica, Ikaria in Greece and Loma Linda in California.
