Icaria is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea. According to tradition, it derives its name from Icarus, the son of Daedalus in Greek mythology, who was believed to have fallen into the sea nearby. A large percentage of the people on this small island (population 8,500) live into their 90's and many even live to over 100 years of age. Not only do they live longer, they are also free of common affliction like dementia, depression, and other chronic diseases.
How do they do it? They eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables – grown in their gardens. They get plenty of exercise by walking to their destinations. Plus, they take naps every day and pay little attention to time – thus very little stress.
