SARDINIA is a BLUE ZONE
Recently, after taking a DNA test, I learned I was part Sardinian [Italian]. However it is on the Island of Sardinia that it is fairly common to live to be 100 years old. I'm going to share some of what I found with you. What I liked most is the food and red wine. Wine is a typical drink everyday, but I also like the food, so I'm placing a PDF file that you can download and read.
Lactose Intolerance is inherited worldwide by about 75% of adults to some degree. About 90% of Asians are Lactose Intolerant and usually under 20% of Northern Europeans.Most of the world's adults suffer, to some degree, from Lactose Intolerance. If your ancestors are mostly Northern Europeans you are not likely to not have a problem, or it is likely to be far less severe. What can you do about it? Not much, other than avoid those products that affect you or find substitutes. If you think you aren't going to be affected this one time...don't try it. The good news is there are now over the counter medications, simple pills, you can take prior to having that ice cream that often reduces the affect, or in some cases you may not be affected at all. The problem is finding the one that works for you. Did you know that 10,000 years ago there were no blue eyed people? That all blued eyed people have a common ancestor and that a blue eyed couple are likely to produce more children? We all had brown eyes and now 20-40 percent of Europeans have blue eyes. |
