  According to a report by the World Health Organization, depression is currently the fourth largest disease burden globally and is one of the leading causes of disability. Approximately 1 in 7 people will experience depression at some point in their lives. It is expected that by 2020, depression will become the second largest disease after cardiovascular diseases. Among the various types of depression, "geriatric depression" has gradually become a significant threat to the mental and physical health of the elderly. So how can we prevent "geriatric depression"?


  Worldway Group has learned that a study in Greece shows that adhering to the "Mediterranean diet" may help prevent symptoms of depression in old age. Researchers investigated the dietary habits and depression symptoms of members from several senior day care centers in East Attica, Greece. Among these seniors, 64% moderately adhered to the "Mediterranean diet," and 34% adhered to it strongly; nearly a quarter exhibited symptoms of depression, with women being more affected than men.


  The "Mediterranean diet" advocates for a high intake of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, and nuts, the use of olive oil, moderate consumption of dairy products, fish, and poultry, and limited intake of red meat and sweets. This dietary approach also encourages regular exercise and sharing meals with family and friends.


  Researchers found that those who strongly adhered to the "Mediterranean diet," consumed more vegetables, and had minimal intake of poultry and alcohol had a lower incidence of depression symptoms or were diagnosed with depression. This study indicates that "adhering to the Mediterranean diet may help prevent the development of depression symptoms in old age."


  As the origin of European dietary culture, Greece is a typical country of the "Mediterranean diet." "The romantic Aegean Sea, the leisurely Greeks." The Greeks, who enjoy the sun and beaches, understand how to live well and have never been careless about their diet. The traditional Greek diet retains the authentic "Mediterranean flavor," and the Greeks' good eating habits have earned Greece the title of a longevity country. The average life expectancy in Greece is 80.3 years, surpassing the world average of 79 years.


  Greece's healthy Mediterranean diet promotes mental well-being, attracting many wealthy individuals from around the world to immigrate here. With a minimum investment of €250,000 in real estate, families can obtain permanent residency in Greece for three generations, enjoy the health benefits of the "Mediterranean diet," and acquire high-quality Greek properties with permanent ownership, benefiting from property appreciation. Investing in real estate in Greece not only secures a home but also adds a layer of health assurance for oneself and family.
