Abstract

One of the world's five mythical regions, or longevity blue zones (LBZ), is Sardinia. It has about 1.6 million people living on it, making it the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Ogliastra and Barbagia are the greatest places of longevity all around the world, with the greatest number of centenarians leaving behind Okinawa, Japan. The world's first blue zone that was discovered was Ogliastra. But why is Sardinia's standard of living so drastically different from that of other people? How the Sardinian local eating routine and conventional food propensities make any distinction. We will be responding to this multitude of inquiries here in this paper. A Roman diet, according to some local Sardinians, is the key to longevity, and a well-balanced, nutritious diet can alter genes. The Sardinian people have proven that they are the direct descendants of their Neolithic-era Nuraghic ancestors. In Sardinia, the four things that work in symbiosis with each other—genetics, environment, food, and family—have been linked to gastronomy and longevity. Not only is the food that is grown in Sardinia nutritious, but the process of growing it also leads to less stress and longer lifespans.

Sardinian native diet: Traditional food habits and adaptation to its island terrains
One of the world's five mythical regions, or longevity blue zones (LBZ), is Sardinia. It has about 1.6 million people living on it, making it the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Ogliastra and Barbagia are the greatest places of longevity all around the world, with the greatest number of centenarians leaving behind Okinawa, Japan. The world's first blue zone that was discovered was Ogliastra. But why is Sardinia's standard of living so drastically different from that of other people? How the Sardinian local eating routine and conventional food propensities make any distinction. We will be responding to this multitude of inquiries here in this paper. A Roman diet, according to some local Sardinians, is the key to longevity, and a well-balanced, nutritious diet can alter genes. The Sardinian people have proven that they are the direct descendants of their Neolithic-era Nuraghic ancestors. In Sardinia, the four things that work in symbiosis with each other—genetics, environment, food, and family—have been linked to gastronomy and longevity. Not only is the food that is grown in Sardinia nutritious, but the process of growing it also leads to less stress and longer lifespans.
