1. THE IKARIAN DIET: This is a variation of the Mediterranean diet, which studies have shown to lower the risk of heart disease and potentially increase life expectancy by 6 years. The diet is high in vegetables and beans and low in meat and sugar.

Ikarians also finish everything in Extra Virgin olive oil. The oil contains natural antioxidants associated with a lower risk of heart disease and cancer.

2. GOAT MILK: The team found that people on the island who live beyond age 90 drink goat's milk almost every week. Goat's milk is easier to digest than cow's milk. It's also high in tryptophan, which reduces stress hormones and lowers the risk of heart disease.

Tryptophan is a natural sedative. They basically live in stasis, with their metabolism being slowed down. Makes sense if you think about it. Every living organism goes through a predetermined number of cell divisions. If you slow down the division rate, then the oranism lasts longer. How long do the goats live on this island?
