I’m sure their lifestyles have a lot to do with life expectancy on the island. What a beautiful place to be!

[mtadams]

I just returned from Greece, I think it’s the food, weather and lifestyle that is extending their lives. Greece is awesome.

Secret for long life is in their lifestyle .... they enjoy life, local food, wine, herbs, socialize, positive thinking, material thing are not in center of their lifes etc

Local honey helps with local allergies. It's the pollens why local honey is better.

Ikarians are lucky. In many parts of the world, bee populations are collapsing due to pesticides and environmental destruction.

Don't expect Ikarian honey to be a magic bullet. The people there eat a whole food diet with a lot more plant based foods than we tend to eat here in the USA. They are just one of the Blue Zones. Blue Zone populations live longer healthier lives and none of the rest of them eat Ikarian honey.
Blue Zone people eat a lot less meat than we do here in the USA. One of the Blue Zones is the Seventh Day Adventists of Loma Linda California. They live about 10 years longer than other Californians and are taught to avoid meat by their religion.

That honey may have something to do with their longevity but ... their worry free lifesyle is more likely to be the reason .

[KevinBingham]

This is the famous Blue Zone island of Greece. There's more than honey going on here. Go read up on Blue Zones...

Of course, there will now be a mass run on this honey!

[anastasiapruitt]

You can buy this honey online at kliotea.com. I've used it and the teas for years. They're amazing!

[ShakespeareCafe]

Actually it's the olive oil, but that's a different story

[charliemay]

I thought it was the tomatos and garlic

[jeansmith]

It would of been nice if they told us where we could buy it.

[jamiehaynes]

uhh, duh! Where can we buy the honey?

[Kid_Ikaris]

Twice as likely to reach 90? It's 1/20 Americans and 1/4 Ikarians. Thats 5 times more likely.
