On an international scale there is much discussion about, and deep interest in, finding the ideal diet, which will improve the health of human beings warding off illnesses. Ever since antiquity, the traditional diet of Cretans seems to be just such a one, including all the right ingredients.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Die Griekse eiland Kreta is nog altyd met genesing en wedergeboorte ge\u00efdentifiseer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

En weereens kan 'n antieke kultuur lesse aan die mense van vandag bied!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Following scientific research and statistical analyses, the Cretan nutrition and diet has been proven to bevorder gesondheid en langlewendheid<\/b>. It consists almost exclusively of products that the people of Crete produce naturally. Products that only the island of Crete and its ideal climatic conditions can offer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is not only the unique in taste and quality Cretan products<\/a> maar ook hul kombinasie, wat 'n enorme voedingswaarde gee en in elke Kretenziese gereg gevind kan word.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

'n Vergelykende studie onder verskeie ontwikkelde lande, wat in 1960 namens sewe lande begin het, het 'n groep van ongeveer 700 Kretaanse mans van die platteland onder mediese waarneming, wat gereeld die toestand van hul gesondheid nagaan: tot dusver het hierdie groep die laagste persentasie sterftes as gevolg van hartaanvalle en verskillende soorte kanker gehad.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This study has also shown the Cretan population to be the longest living one: when, in 1991, thirty one years after the beginning of the study, the Social Health Sector<\/a> of the University of Crete<\/a> undertook the medical checkup of the group, about 50% were found to be still alive as opposed to the rest of the six participating countries where there wasn’t a single survivor (even in the rest of Greece)!Until recently the diet was simple and wholesome: olive oil, which counted for the 1\/3 of the individual’s daily need in energy, but mainly cereals, principally bread, pulses, vegetables and fruit and, to a lesser degree, cheese, milk, eggs, fish and a little red wine with every meal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Taking into account the conditions of today’s life, we would recommend a return to the traditional Cretan eating habits.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If someone decides to incorporate a Cretan-like diet, it is good to know the following basics:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
