ople of Acciaroli.Residents raise and consume their own rabbits .Anchovies too feature prominently on dinner plates.
Rosemary,olive oil and fresh vegetables -explains why so many people here both men and women , live past 90?

Some studies have shown that rosemary can aid brain function, and the researchers think the variety grown in Acciaroli might have specially high concentrations of beneficial substances.
The study found that Acciaroli 's older residents have exceptionally good microcirculation - the small capillaries that go right into tissues to deliver nutrients and remove waste."There ADM levels are as good as a teenager ,'said Dr Maisel , referring to adrenomedullin , a hormone that widens blood vessels.The older adults also demonstrate
