How far would you travel for the “elixir” to a long life at optimal health? A small village in Italy’s northern Lombardy region is said to have the secret to wellness. Limone sul Garda has less than 1,000 residents and is a quaint fishing village. It’s also the most northern location in the world where lemons are grown naturally. The climate is extremely mild even though it’s located at the bottom of the Alps.

Residents of Limone sul Garda can reportedly eat whatever they want without having to think about gaining weight or developing health issues. Their digestive systems are top tier. They’re said to have the “Limone gene,” containing a special protein that works to keep blood fluid and destroy lipids.
