Sardinia, Italy A cluster of villages in a kidney-shaped region on this island make up the first Blue Zone region we ever identified. In 2004, our research team set off to investigate a rare genetic quirk carried by its inhabitants. The result: nearly 11 times more male centenarians than anywhere else in the world. Residents of this area are also culturally isolated, and they have kept to a very traditional, healthy lifestyle. Sardinians still harvest the food they eat. They remain close with friends and family throughout their lives. They laugh and drink wine together. #health #holistichealth #wellness #plantbased #nature_perfection #artistfound #splendid_earth #antiaging #naturalhealth #herbalmedicine #herbs #organic #holistichealing #plantwisdom #bluezones #longevity #sardinia #italy #travel #bluezonesdiet
