9 places where the healthiest people live (slideshow)
6. Sardinia has the highest rate of 100 year-old living residents
This category is a little different: death before age 100. On the Italian island of Sardinia (one of my favorite places in the world), the approximately 1.6 million inhabitants have the world’s highest documented percentage of people who have lived longer than 100 years.
The secret is likely a combination of diet (they eat mostly fruits and vegetables, olive oil, garlic, fresh dairy, and tiny amounts of meat only once or twice a week), lifestyle (people typically work into their 90s), and genetics. In fact, a research team discovered a gene in the Y chromosome that can significantly reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack in men in Sardinia.
