Description

The village of Acciaroli in southern Italy boasts a disproportionate number of elderly people, despite smoking and being overweight. What's their secret? Acciaroli has a population of only 2,000, yet the village boasts some 300 elders who have reached the age of 100 — and about 20 percent of those centenarians have reached 110. Furthermore, the area has low rates of Alzheimer’s and heart disease — despite a diet filled with cigarettes and wine.” (New York Post)
