About Longevity food Alimenta la tua Giovinezza

The longevity of a centenarian is always seen, especially in the Western world, as a prodigious and exceptional event. Living long, indeed eternally, has been one of the dreams of human beings since ancient times. Scientists point to genetics, diet, environment, and lifestyle as causes of longevity; a recent study, based on empirical and scientific research in certain areas of the globe called blue zones, shares this view. Among the research that has emerged in the last 10 years, there is one particularly fascinating study, that of the blue zone, developed by essayist Dan Buettner with National Geographic, initiated by French demographer Michel Poulain and Sardinian doctor Gianni Pes. It is to them that we owe the name "blue zone": when Poulain and Pes began their research in Sardinia, they circled in blue the towns of Ogliastra and Barbagia characterized by high percentages of long-lived people, starting to refer to the identified areas as "blue zones." There is no elixir of long life, but it is also not correct to necessarily associate old age with suffering: the Blue Zones are the example that pushes us to review our habits and our time, offering us the prospect of a different third age.Read their story
