After spending six months studying Acciaroli’s 700 residents they discovered something REALLY interesting.

All of the residents have “unusually good blood circulation for their age,”! This is due to a couple of factors:

Acciaroli’s residents ate locally sourced fish, rabbit, and chicken. They also ate home-grown vegetables, and olive oil.

They ate a lot of rosemary, which the researchers found to help improve brain function.

The intimate life of the locals was highly active, even in the lifestyle of people older than 100 years, which is really nice.
