Why are the people in the village of Acciaroli living well above Italy's national average? And why does it have one of the world's highest concentrations of people over 100 years old? Seth Doane reports on what scientists discovered.

  • Fresh clean sea air, Home grown vegetables, fresh ewes milk cheeses, lamb and goat from local fields, Close family and friends units ......recipe for life.
  • I personally believe that the key to a long life is to eat right, dodge stress and simply have the desire to want to wake up the next day.

    'Lived in Modena. Yes tI saw more old folks than children. Probably the wine, fruits and vegetables, fresh milk and brewed coffee. I guess they're not fond of fried and processed foods.

    Eating real organic foods. Not the fake stuff . Is the key. And real good wine.
  • Italian life expectation for CIA ranking 85 years ( Third in the World ) or 83 for ONU ranking ( second in the World ) ; Usa : 42 in the World for CIA ranking or 31 for ONU but the life expectation is 79 years old . Different food , different wine, different habits, different places , different way of life and public Health System ( the second in the world for efficiency for WHO ). And the americans think to live in the best nation in the World .........
  • I think it’s the olive oil in their life keeps them going. The joints n head are oiled and it keeps it pliable

    organic food--no weed killer (glasophate) is the secret.

    The trouble with empirical science is that it is not well equipped to study some things. How is a cardiologist going to study the "secret" to long life in Acciaroli when the "secret" may be in simple things that are not measurable e.g. their philosophy of life. "The more we learn, the less we know" is true sometimes.
  • My family comes from there and they have all lived beyond ninety. But they also ate fatty red meats..genetic.
