Ikarians eat a variation of the Mediterranean diet, with lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, potatoes and olive oil. This way of eating includes fresh, nutrient-rich, whole foods that may reduce inflammation in the body. The diet also contains fiber, antioxidants and healthy fats such as omega-3s. Ikarians focus on local produce. With more than 150 varieties of wild greens all over the island, there is plenty for the picking. Hands-on course.
