Unlike the United Kingdom, one-third of inhabitants on Ikaria, Greece, live past 90. What do they all have in common? Their diet!
Dietary trends come and go, as our goals and values change over time. One goal that seems to stick around is to increase the time your life lasts; longevity. What’s even more interesting is that the quality of our lives seems to correlate with how long we get to stick around. At least if you love the Mediterranean diet as much as we do.
Typically, such a diet consists of a high intake of healthy plant-based food & seafood, as well as moderate consumption of wine. That’s something to remember next time you order wine online.
One study showed that following a Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk of overall mortality, heart diseases, cancer, diabetes as well as many other illnesses.
So what are you waiting for?
Do some personal wine shopping and let us pick the wine, or have a look at Outpour’s curated wine selection to see for yourself.
We recommend white wine because it goes well with seafood but red wine does a slightly better job in terms of health benefits.
