Ancient watch tower in Castelsardo, Sardinia (1976)⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Castelsardo is a small town in the north of Sardinia, continuously occupied since at least 2,000 B.C. Fortifications were built and maintained on these sea cliffs by the Nuragics, the Romans, the Genoans, the Spanish monarchs, the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the Kingdom of Italy.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Today, these towers mostly watch for beachgoers, fisherman, and ferries carrying tourists back and forth from Corsica or Marseille.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 📍 Castelsardo, Sardinia, Italy, 1976 🇮🇹⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ ⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ 📷 Flickr: Link.n.Logs⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ ⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ #TheOldWorld⁠ #HealthyLiving #Health #Mindfulness #Meditation #Reflection #Wellness #OldAge #BlueZones #BlueZoneLiving #SimpleFood #SimpleCooking #MarketCooking #Healthyish #BonApetit #EatWellLiveWell #EatWellBeWell #EatGoodFeelGood #EatWell #HealthyEating #HealthyMeals #HealthyFoodIdeas #EatHealthyFood #EatRealFood #MediterraneanDiet #MediterraneanFood #HealthyIdeas #Film #FilmPhotography #FilmIsNotDead⁠⠀⁠⠀ ⁠⠀⁠⠀ © All rights to the respective owners. ⁠ (at Castelsardo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-KkuPYDZuR/?igshid=1hby4x3s01za5

Suddenly it's difficult to find ingredients that we've long considered commonplace. We take for granted being able to walk into a Whole Foods or Trader Joe's and find a dozen different obscure ingredients for a single dinner.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In an age of superfoods, exotic ingredients have become synonymous with health. But in traditional cuisines in regions like the Mediterranean, the most delicious and nutritious meals are often the simplest. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Whole grains, beans, seasonal vegetables, fresh herbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper. When you start with quality ingredients, you don't need much to awaken the senses and satisfy your hunger.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ So don't panic when stocking your pantry in lean times. The easiest ingredients to find are probably the same ones that are going to keep you feeling healthy and energized.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #TheOldWorld⁠ #LessonsFromTheOldWorld⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #HealthyLiving #Health #Mindfulness #Meditation #Reflection #Wellness #OldAge #BlueZones #BlueZoneLiving #SimpleFood #SimpleCooking #MarketCooking #Healthyish #BonApetit #EatWellLiveWell #EatWellBeWell #EatGoodFeelGood #EatWell #HealthyEating #HealthyMeals #HealthyFoodIdeas #EatHealthyFood #EatRealFood #MediterraneanDiet #MediterraneanFood #HealthyIdeas https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ChxIVjWxQ/?igshid=1ic6ohkuqvcre

"Pasta Lab #saltwaterpasta" 🍝 @misipasta⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Nuoro, Sardinia is the home of the rarest pasta in the world, "Fili di Dio" — "Threads of God". Impossibly thin, Fili di Dio is made from just three ingredients, semolina wheat, water and salt. The pasta is stretched and folded and stretched again until it has the consistency of thread.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The pasta threads are layered and dried into cakes, and then placed in boiling mutton broth soup where they melt into an amazing consistency.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ It's thought that as few as 10 people in the world know how to make this Sardinian specialty.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 📍 Nuoro, Sardinia, Italy, 2020 🇮🇹⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 📷 @misipasta⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #TheOldWorld⁠ #HealthyLiving #Health #Wellness #OldAge #BlueZones #BlueZoneLiving #Italy #Sardinia #Nuoro #Travel #Mediterranean #MediterraneanLiving #MediterraneanDiet #Pasta #HomemadePasta #SaltwaterPasta #MisiNewYork #MisiPasta #FiliDiDio #SuFilindeu (at Nuoro) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8hEVV5BoCN/?igshid=19sjs62z6rwvo

Stay active 👩‍🦯😅⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In a 2015 study by researchers at Saarland University in Germany, tests found that 20 to 25 min of walking per day (140 to 175 min per week) can add between three to seven years to your life.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ So keep your car in the driveway, skip the train, and close the . Uber app on your phone. Daily walks may just be the key to a longer life. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 🌍 Lacco Ameno, Ischia, Italy, 1984 🇮🇹⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 📷 Flickr: Meredith Jacobson Marciano⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #TheOldWorld⁠ #HealthyLiving #Health #StayActive #Walk #Walking #DailyWalks #Wellness #OldAge #BlueZones #BlueZoneLiving #Italy #Ischia #LaccoAmeno #Travel #Mediterranean #MediterraneanLiving #MediterraneanDiet #Film (at Lacco Ameno) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8cXSuph_gr/?igshid=1rw76u4gifpyh
