What’s important however is not where this island is but
something in the island’s native foods might possibly be able to
turn around your health and your life.
University of Athens cardiologist Christina Chrysohoou studied the
diet and lifestyle of these islanders for years. But it wasn’t until
recent research into one particular enzyme from a team far away in
Denmark that this island’s mystery revealed itself...
"Their bodies produce extraordinary amounts of
a unique fat-metabolizing enzyme..."
This thinning enzyme has caught the attention of the medical
community. Recent research has sparked national interest with
this statement...
"This enzyme is the key to burning fat, and it can be
manipulated to work three times harder..."
So what is it about these island foods that’s elevating this miracle
enzyme naturally? And why are these weight-reducing foods so
diéerent from Western foods? Dr. Christina Chrysohoou from the
University of Athens studied this island to discover the answer.
She said:
“The food supply on this island is grown in native
soil. The enzymatic content in their foods is much
higher than in Western foods. They also enjoy foods
most Americans rarely eat.”
