Lessons from Acciaroli

I recently visited Acciaroli, Italy, a tiny fishing village turned vacation hot spot on the Cilento coast, just south of the Amalfi coastline- so far south that no one spoke English!  But where an astonishing percentage of people live past 100 — and not just living, but living well. Sharp minds, active bodies, smiles on their faces, and a sparkle in their eyes. No cataracts, heart disease or broken bones- all those things we think are expected with aging.  We have to go back in time to see why they have such robust health. Reflections of Acciaroli
