Rhythmic Life Style and Mediterranean Cuisine Offer Healthy and Longevous Life!

Many foods in Mediterranean Cuisine (Mediterranean Diet) likely offer a perfect protection of the body for the humanbeings and offer a good and longevous life. Forexample; in Turkey, The people of the Golkoy/Gölköy town in Ordu city, and in Italy, the people of Cilento and Acciardi towns and in Russia, the people of Caucasus Mountains town of southern Russia have long been famous for attaining extremely old ages (longevous life). According to data of these governments; 70 percent of all people reaching 85 to 110 years or more live in these regions. People of these regions have a slow, regular and rhythmic life style (The outdoor work and their regions provide a good deal of exercise for them). There is also continuity in diet (Mediterranean foods). They mostly consume organic Mediterranean foods. People of these regions enjoy their traditional foods and beverages and have no inclination to change it. They have eaten the same meat, vegetables, grains, fruits and seafoods from childhood to old age. And, these foods' consume times (seasons), recipes and cooking methods are always same for these people. Anthropologist feel that while exercise and traditional diet contribute to longevity, the rhythmic lifestyle is more important. Many experts, scientists and Antropologists concluded that it is not the Mediterranean diet/traditional food itself that is the secret for long life, although it does contribute. The real secret or miracle is the continuity in diet from birth to death. Thé consistent, unchanged foods (diet) and regular meals, beverages (dietary) rhythm allow the body and its digestive system to become entirely adjusted.

4 or 5 Bay leaves,
A pinc of Salt,
Water,

1/2 Cup of Apple cider vinegar, (if you want, you can grape vinegar, but apple cider vinegar is great for this dish),
4-5 Cloves Garlic, grated or smashed,
1/2 Teaspoon of ground black pepper, red pepper flakes to sprinkle over it,

First of all take all ingredients on your work-surface. Then, take a deep and large bowl and pour cold water in it. Then place your meat with bones pieces in this cold water-bowl. This process takes 3-4 hours. During the process, you should change cold water four times. At the end of the process, Wash and rinse the meat with bones pieces again under cold water, remove any visible fat (bye the way we like to leave some fat on the meat as it makes the dish flavourful). Then, add the washed meat to a clean pot (we used pressure cooker instead of the pot).
Place the meat with bones pieces on low-medium heat, and add water to cover all meats (nearly 1/2 of pressure cooker of water or less water is enough - You do not need a lot of water for this recipe, because meat produces its own liquid, adding too much water would just water down the flavour of the overall dish) and add couple of bay leaves in it. Then, stir to combine, and cover the pressure cooker with a lid and simmer for 40-45 minutes (if you use stockpot, you should cook it 60-70 minutes).
