ANOTHER OLIVE, PLEASE
For millennia, residents of the Mediterranean’s coastlines have enjoyed lives found to be much healthier than those of many other regions. Research has demonstrated that the diet—rich in vegetables, fruits, olive oil, seeds, nuts, and beans, all full of important micronutrients—provides a protective effect against chronic diseases as well as aid in lowering the risk of Type 2 diabetes.
Residents are less sedentary and enjoy meals at a more leisurely pace. This way of life contributes to the benefits, further increasing health and longevity.
The next time you are in the Mediterranean, immerse yourself in the local cuisine and pace of life, knowing your time in the region not only benefits the soul, but also the heart.

Attend several performances during the week, each preceded and followed by discussions with faculty leader Murray Biggs. This flagship theater program, offered every August since 1991, sells out quickly.
