Greek here

Parents come from rural Greece. Water source was literally the stream passing through the river.

No chlorine or other form of sanitation. Literally the stream as it comes down from the mountain, funnelled into 2 taps at the top and bottom part of the village.

Average life expectancy at the village: 82 (mom was village doctor), with some outliers of people hitting 100+

All men smoked (tobacco producing region)
Goat and eggs as protein, maybe pigs if you were better off
Chocolate from German troops (soldiers and commanders traded bread and fresh eggs for chocolate, people hoarded it decades after the world)

I really don't fucking know what they did correctly. Must be the water and fucking mountain air.
