Mediterranean diet - a good life after 70 years

We have been writing about the health-promoting properties of the Mediterranean diet on our website many times. So far, various types of scientific studies have pointed mainly to the links between the Mediterranean diet and the smaller incidence of specific diseases. However, the results of the research recently published by the Annals of Internal Medicine also show the beneficial effects of this diet on better quality of health after the age of 70. They prove its special role in the so-called healthy aging.

Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School and the School of Public Health at Harvard decided to study the impact of the Mediterranean diet on the aging process. 10,670 women participated in the study. These women in 1984 and 1986 responded to the questionnaire regarding nutrition. All these people were then around 60 years old. The questions they answered at that time concerned their eating habits and the frequency of consumption of specific product groups.

After 15 years, participants of this study were asked to complete another questionnaire regarding their state of health and lifestyle. The results showed that those women who followed the Mediterranean diet had 40% more chances to exceed the age of 70 compared to people who eat differently.

In addition, these people were referred to as "healthy middle-aged" because they did not suffer from kidney disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes or Parkinson's disease, which were popular in this age. All were also physically fit, with no signs of cognitive impairment or mental health problems.

In general, the healthy population consumed larger amounts of plant foods, whole grains and marine fish. Their diet also contained less red and processed meat and less alcohol.

According to the researchers, these results may encourage people to follow a healthy diet so that they can enjoy good health for a long time. They found that the better quality diet would be consumed by middle-aged people, the better health they would be able to enjoy later. These are important conclusions that should be emphasized when promoting healthy eating. Maintaining physical and mental health during the natural aging process is certainly a strong incentive to change your diet and lifestyle. A long life without disease is probably a dream for all people, so it is worth changing the way of nutrition to take care as soon as possible to enjoy health and full fitness for as long as possible.

Olives in salt from Paleochory

Today we would like to introduce to you black dried salt olives that we discovered in Paleochora during our last holidays. Their amazing salty and very expressive taste makes them a great addition to various dishes, but they also taste fantastic in the form of a self-made snack. Unfortunately, we do not know if you can get it somewhere in Poland because it is a relatively rare product.

Olive Eliam

Customers of the kreta24.pl store know that they can find here excellent Cretan and Greek oils and many other organic products. We have already written about a very high quality assortment of this store many times. This time we would like to draw your attention to the very high quality of Eliama oil produced by Elli's farm in Agia Barbara in Crete.

Cretan vintage

The turn of August and September is the traditional period when a set of grapes for wine production is started in Crete. One of the most important decisions affecting the quality of the future drink is to determine the most favorable harvesting moment.

Kiedyś ponoć tak tu było

Podobno z tego m.in powodu lokalne władze obawiajac się "zadeptania" zakazały tworzenia kampingów. Tak mówiła nam osoba z Kato Zakros.

To, że nie ma dużo ludzi , to jego zaleta. Generalnie to zaleta całego Kato Zakros i okolic

Nie zgodziłbym się z wypowiedzią o małej gęstości zamieszkania okolicy Kato Zakros. Na 30-to kilometrowym odcinku wschodniego wybrzeża Kreta znajdowały się cztery duże i bardzo duże miasta: od północy Itanos, Russolakos, Kato Zakros oraz Ambelos. Największe z nich, dzisiaj częściiwo leżące na dnie morza, Itanos i Russolakos, zbadane zostały tylko w minimalnym stopniu.

Byliśmy w zeszłym roku. Robi wrażenie wielkość tego pałacu. Ale zwiedzanie go w godzinach przedpołudniowych, w pełnym słońcu wymaga sporo samozaparcia, dobrego nakrycia głowy i dużej ilości wody do picia. Byliśmy tam w czerwcu i prócz nas nie było nikogo. Z jednej strony szkoda, że to miejsce jest tak mało popularne, a z drugiej... Cisza i spokój okolicy urzeka.

dzieki,wybieramy sie za 2 tygodnie,tylko wschod,baza w Ierapetra.

Predictions for this year's olive harvest

gość PiotrWie My obecnie jesteśmy na Alonissos, wiem że nie jest to jakiś znaczący region uprawy oliwek ale patrząc po drzewach jest całkiem sporo owoców i wydaje nam się że tu jest jakiś inny gatunek - są widocznie większe niż na Krecie

rosna z 10 tys lat ,a ci medytuja.

Co roku te same informacje....

Christian Arnidis - Moja Grecja A skad informacje i spadku cen oliwy w hurcie? Bo sprowadzam oliwe i az takich spadkow nie widze nigdzie. Bardzie brak oliwy w tloczarniach i u producentow.
