Italy’s Sardinia’s Secret to Longevity for Goans”
PANAJI: “The more you stay home, the less you want to live. The more you sit, the quicker you get old. You think you’re resting, but actually, you’re poisoning your body. Your blood slows down, your heart forgets how to pump. The weight creeps on, not just on your waist but on your joints and your spirit.”
“In Sardinia, we don’t have a word for ‘Gym’ because life is movement. But today, I see you young people stuck in boxes. When you stay inside, your body starts to eat itself. Your muscles get weak, your sugar spikes, and your brain gets foggy. Psychology calls it mental rumination, but I call it ‘rocking in the shade’. You worry about the future because you’re not living in the present.”
“Even a short walk feels like a mountain, but it’s not you – you’re lazy, it’s because you’re rusty. Listen to your nonna: you don’t feel energetic to go outside, but you need to go outside to get energy. Fresh air cleans the lungs, sunlight fixes sleep, and walking heals the heart. Healing doesn’t happen on the sofa; it happens on your feet.”
