You have a fabulous array of wonderfully local foods. <br /> We try to eat homegrown veg as much as possible; the food is fresh and we also know there were absolutely no chemicals used to grow them. Seasonal eating is what we enjoy in fruit, vegetables, herbs and even seaweed, plus we try to keep physically and mentally active. We don't expect to live forever, but we do hope to keep healthy for as long as possible!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461759848289268517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516133427486832064.post-83319774293114130782018-02-28T10:51:38.165-08:002018-02-28T10:51:38.165-08:00That's a good summary.

It would seem that they main point of what I have read and seen, is that all the people are still very active, extremely social and are slim, even bordering on the lean side. From what I can gather reading about blue zones. Eat fresh, keep slim, be active both in mind and body.

We always try to buy "in season" fresh food. Best food is in its natural form and not too elaborated: eating fresh nuts instead of peanutbutter, a freshly squeezed orange instead of an orange cooldrink. ...and for the sweet tootj, rather a little piece of dark chocolate instead of a Mars. Studies say that a glass of red wine during a meal (2 glasses a day) is healthy for the heart.<br />Hreetings Maria xMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01525028325800849416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516133427486832064.post-37470209530235460682018-02-27T21:17:44.125-08:002018-02-27T21:17:44.125-08:00If you look for the qualities of almost anything o...If you look for the qualities of almost anything on-line, you'll find the same old stuff.

What I think is the reason for Greeks living so long isn’t what they are eating. It’s their love of living. Not only surviving every day but a lust for life! <br />This attitude that doesn’t matter. Let’s eat drink and be merry today for tomorrow isn’t promised so enjoy your life and live while you are here!angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367100990792829157noreply@blogger.com
