Live Where The Mediterranean Diet Flourishes

Live Where The Mediterranean Diet Flourishes

It only stands to reason to live where the Mediterranean diet flourishes, and that is Greece and Cyprus. Let's talk about Cyprus.

Living in Cyprus you are surrounded by English speaking people; even most of the natives speak English. Of course, Greek is spoken there, too.

In Cyprus, you'll see many expats who live there from England, Germany and Russia.

To help you in your quest for staying on a healthy diet, you have an abundance of local food there and you have a long growing season. Some of the local food that is grown there include:

cauliflower
broccoli
avocados
cucumbers
tomatoes
potatoes
grapefruit
oranges
tangerines
grapes
figs
dates
lemons

Not only are these foods plentiful, but they are also fresh, unlike the kind you get in the UK. In season, the food is cheap. And if you look around, you can get some of this food free. You see, many years ago there were small substance farmers that depended on the food that they grew, but since tourism has created many jobs there - with the explosion of hotels and restaurants - many locals are working in these industries.

My wife and I just happened to be driving through a farm area where there were plenty of orange trees but none of them were picked and there were thousands just lying on the ground. So, we took a small amount to eat for ourselves. In villages, you also see fruit trees in public areas where the fruit is there for the picking. In one town of Peyia, there are lemon trees right outside the little supermarket. So, why pay for lemons when you can get them for free!

You'll also find that food like cauliflower and broccoli grow huge when in season.

If you are looking for a place to retire, Cyprus would be ideal. It doesn't have the many problems that are associated with the US and the UK, including crime. It's easy to open a bank account and to live there as a permanent resident – even if you live outside of the EU. Flats can be rented short or long term and if you buy property the taxes are low.

If moving there is not your “cup of tea”, you can create your own private health retreat, where you'll be away from negative friends who say you can't heal yourself. You'll be in a warm climate with good local food and have all the peace and quite you need – provided you stay away from the tourist area.
