Monks do it better…
It’s not a joke, last day the independent published a new on how the Monks who live on Mount Athos (Greece) shown to cut their cancer risk.
A research demonstrates that only a tiny number of brothers have suffered from the disease in the past decade.
There are several reasons why this can be explained:
- Stress-free existence
- Away from world
- Eating the old-fashioned way
The main factor in their low uptake of cancers is their diet.
They eat fruit, vegetables, pasta, rice, soya and bread…the typical cancer prevention diet.
The key factor is that they alternate their meals: (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays)
- Olive oil
- Wine
- Dairy
- Plant proteins
…and eat them at regular intervals.
It’s interesting to note that researchers found on 1,500 monks only a minute proportion have developed cancer (during a 13-year period of study).
- None developed lung or bowel cancer
- Prostrate cancer only affected 11 of the monks
