Ikaria Study

Ikaria study is a study about people living on the Greek island of Ikaria, who are known for having very long lifespans. Scientists studied the people on this island to try to figure out why they are able to live so long. They looked at the lifestyles of the people on the island, the foods they ate, the activities they did, and the environment they lived in. They found that the people on Ikaria were healthier than average and ate lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, ate less processed foods, exercised regularly, and were less stressed. They also believed that living in a small community made them stronger and helped them stay healthier longer.
