Whatever was in season was what we ate. It was packed with nutrition because it was fresh; we never ate processed food. The solution to our health crisis in America is to go back and eat like the Greeks did 40-50 years ago. So how can we adopt this diet?

About the Book
The search for optimal health and longevity remains confusing for many individuals and can result in individuals chasing nutrient pills, medications, or new diets. My Mediterranean Village Lifestyle connects the dots between old-world simplicity and newly understood knowledge about nutrition and lifestyle in a simple, common-sense narrative inspired by the tiny village of Lafka, Korinthias, in the Greek mountains. Nutrition remains the key focus of the book; however, lifestyle choices, stress, relationships with others, physical activity, and relationship with the Creator are also topics of discussion. The author demonstrates, through examining life in the village, how all of these factors can work together in synergy to boost your immune system, promote overall well-being, and provide the health/wealth needed for a fulfilling life.
