Garlic is healthier than we thought
Ikaria, the Greek island known as one of the “Blue Zones” of the world, stands out for its percentage of people reaching the age of 100. Speaking to CNBC, a local family shared the secret to longevity, which lies in a simple but powerful food: garlic.
One of the basic ingredients of the Mediterranean diet, garlic, is included in the daily diet of the people of Ikaria. This spice not only adds flavor to food, but has also been used as a medicine since ancient times. Garlic is known to boost the immune system and lower blood pressure, which may contribute to the islanders’ longevity.
For the inhabitants of Ikaria, garlic is not just a food, but the cornerstone of their health, an integral part of their daily life. Following ancient Greek traditions, this simple but effective food may contribute to the longevity of this special island.
