Approximate Diet Did you know thatunites the inhabitants of Crete, the Japanese island of Okinawa, the Caucasus, the Vilcabamba Valley in Ecuador and the Pakistani Hunza Valley? They have a much better chance of living a century than us Europeans. In Okinawa, out of a population of 100,000, 47 people live up to 100 years old, against a pitiful ten in Western European countries. The same thing: only 9 deaths from cardiovascular diseases were recorded per 100,000 inhabitants, and in the USA ... more than 400! What is the reason? Healthy inheritance? Secret recipes? Not at all. It has been scientifically proven that the secret of a large population of centenarians is in a healthy lifestyle. If there is a miracle, then it is completely and completely rational, because it depends only on the diet, that is, what people eat. This fact made a strong impression on the famous French nutritionist Jacques Fricker and his co-author Dominique Lati. Walking somehow through the market (not just somewhere, but in Moscow), a girl, seriously keen on cooking, found on the shelves of sellers from Georgia products typical for Crete: garlic, beans, cereals, cereals, walnuts, sheep's milk, etc. curdled milk. Intrigued by this coincidence, she became interested in Georgian cuisine and found that in the Caucasus, out of 100,000 inhabitants, 51 had celebrated their centenary, breaking Okinawa's record! This marked the beginning of the study: in the process of searching, Dominica Lati attacked articles about centenarians from Vilcabamba in Ecuador, then from the Hunza Valley in Pakistan. In these parts, the situation is the same as in Crete, the Caucasus and Okinawa: the population eats right, which means it does not get fat, which means it is always in excellent shape, which means it lives longer. Having discovered such a simple pattern, our nutritionists decided to describe all the mentioned "diets" (here this word is used in the literal sense, as "a way to eat"), providing them with advice and recipes. Conclusion: in order to eat right every day, you do not have to go to the Vilcabamba valley, even if you live in a big city, leave work no earlier than seven in the evening and buy groceries at the nearest supermarket or Auchan. So, everything in order ...
