During our initial explorations of Ikaria’s Blue Zone, we uncovered something remarkable: dementia rates on this island are astonishingly low. Only around 20% of Ikarians over 80 show any signs of dementia—dramatically lower than the nearly 50% observed in Athens and the U.S. What’s the secret? The Ikarian way of life holds invaluable lessons for us all. #bluezones #longevity #ikaria #brainhealth #agingwell #healthyliving
