Dreaming of moving abroad? A gorgeous island in the Mediterranean Sea could be one of the world\u2019s healthiest places to resettle.<\/p>\n
According to Blue Zones, Sardinia, a large Italian island, has one of the world\u2019s healthiest lifestyles.<\/p>\n
Nearly 10 times as many Sardinians live to the age of 100 than in the USA and there are several reasons the Blue Zones team think this is the case.<\/p>\n
Residents of Sardinia typically eat a lean, plant based diet that focuses on fruits, vegetables, beans and wholegrain bread.<\/p>\n
Meat is generally saved for Sundays and special occasions while the island also eats a lot of pecorino cheese which is high in Omega 3 fatty acids.<\/p>\n
