The image of monks traditionally represents the human suffering all kinds of deprivation in the name of faith. For most of it, it’s rather strange and is unacceptable in everyday life. Why limit yourself to eat, to sleep on a hard, raised a little light and surround yourself by different inconveniences?
It turns out that if the lead monastic way of life, can reduce the likelihood of cancer almost to zero. Only one thing can not be «defraud» - is hereditary.
That said, at medical conferences «Health and Diet» Thessaloniki University professor Haralambos Aidonopulos. The group of scientists under his leadership has 13 years of monitoring the health of monks living on Mount Athos peninsula in northern Greece.
Ministers of God only when sunlight and followed the natural rhythm of day. They traditionally sleep a little, and their food is very scarce from the point of view of the urban man. The main menu of their products is cereals and vegetables. The source of protein is a fish. In the days of meatless diet even more challenge: It is prohibited to eat, even olive oil.
Naturally, none of the monks do not smoke and drink alcoholic beverages. They live under the sun rhythm, pray, fast and work as their counterparts did so many years ago.
Haralambos Aidonopulos argues that it is through this way of life monks in 4.5 times less likely suffer from cancer, than secular residents. For all the years of observations only from eleven residents of Athos was diagnosed with cancer. It can be concluded that the cancer provoke all those excesses that we allow ourselves during the life.
