George & Eleni Karimalis are nutritionists and chefs visiting from the Greek island, Ikaria, one of the world’s Blue Zones. George will share his knowledge about the lifestyle of the Ikarian people that contributes to great longevity. His presentation will explore how these people live, what they eat, their habits and the kinds of daily activities they do that help them lead long, healthy and happy lives.
Eleni will then teach us the secrets of the functional kitchen of Ikaria on how to cook extra tasty meals that are rich in flavor and nutrients.
Ikarian cooking is the genuine version of the “Mediterranean” diet, using mostly plants and less animal foods. Ikaria is a “Blue Zone”, identified as one of five geographic regions of the world where people live exceptionally long and healthy lives. Diet has been identified as one of the most important factors of this healthy lifestyle. Most Ikarians live a healthier 10 years longer than Americans and Europeans. We would love to have you join us for this fun learning experience.
