Our Ourensividad association, based in Galicia, continues to generate interest and recognition. On this occasion, the prestigious newspaper Infobae has published a report highlighting the longevity in our region, highlighting key aspects of our quality of life and the impact of our initiatives.
The article highlights various factors that contribute to this exceptional life expectancy, such as traditional diet, active lifestyle, natural environment and the strong social cohesion of our communities. In addition, it mentions the work of Ourensividad in promoting initiatives that promote healthy aging and the well-being of our elderly.
“Given the increase in centenarians in the rural regions of Ourense, researchers are studying the Galician “super-elders”. What are their secrets to living longer and to the fullest?
“The Atlantic diet is rich in nutritious foods such as turnip greens, octopus, garlic, peppers, dairy products and meats (blue fish and pork); vegetables of the genus Brassica (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, chard), citrus fruits, berries, olive oil or quality meat,” said Cristina Conde Rodríguez, nutritionist at Ourenstividad, member of the Spanish Academy of Nutrition.
The article also highlights: according to Vivanco, Ourense is the world capital of thermalism with 13 hot springs and different therapeutic indications. “We have applications for arthritis, dermatitis, respiratory conditions, gastroenterology and with hepatobiliary characteristics, among others, which act on the health of our citizens,” he stated.
