The Slow Life Diet is a different perspective on how to plan a healthy, enjoyable way of life.  It’s a lifestyle that demands a mindset committed to change and growth.   Living healthier in order to live longer is a way of life in the Greek village, and thus, Greek villagers are known to have a long-life expectancy.  The author spotlights Maria, who lived in one of the villages on the Island where it is typical that the inhabitants live passed their 90s.  And what is so remarkable about this is they still are an active part of society until their yester years.

According to the author, “Getting old simply means that your body is slowly giving way to the wear and tear of long usage, but our brain, mentally, can stay young forever. The Greek villagers never forget this notion that progressing through ages is a physical metamorphosis rather than a mental one.”

Slow Life Diet: Greek Village Living – The Pathway to a Healthier Lifestyle, Healthier Habits, and a Happier You is available in paperback and e-book to order and download on Amazon. 

Notes:

Stratis Kamatsos, a US lawyer and English solicitor and social entrepreneur and TedX speaker, founded evo3 olive farms, a company that revived his family tradition of olive oil production on the island of Lesvos, Greece. Through his love and knowledge of olive oil, he began to advocate for its health benefits and the role it played in the Mediterranean diet.  He not only promoted olive oil’s health benefits, but also saw that the Greek village diet was much more than just food, but it was a lifestyle, and he witnessed first-hand that it could make someone live longer, happier, and healthier. He, thus, brings his many years of experience with this lifestyle in an effortless manner.
