It is known that in the Middle Ages, people who managed to live to 70 years were rare.
However, most Knights of the Order of the Templars were distinguished by longevity.
Recall that formed in 1119 in Jerusalem, the Order of the Templars numbered up to 30 thousand knights during its heyday.
Its founders are Hugh de Peyen and eight of his companions-knights.
The brotherhood, which considered conscious poverty to the glory of the Lord as its ideals, quickly turned into a powerful and richest military organization, which, in addition to knights, also included sergeants, militiamen and laborers. In the hands of the Order were concentrated huge funds, he owned the richest land.
As the researchers found out, the Knights Templar could afford not only harmful, but also useful excesses that helped to preserve health. Therefore, members of the elite often lived to 70 years, which in the Middle Ages was considered a rarity.
According to the head of the Polyclinic Gemelli in Rome, Francesco Francesca, it is obvious that the reason for their longevity can be called a special way of life, where a healthy diet was not the last. The specialist believes that the Templars adhered to the "Latin temple set of rules", which prescribed to take care of hygiene at the table and food.
According to this set, meat was forbidden to eat more than three times a week, but it was recommended to eat more fish, greens, vegetables and legumes. This avoids stomach problems and reduces the risk of death from cardiovascular diseases.
In this case, the kitchen servant was forbidden to engage in any other manual labor, cleanliness was maintained in the dining room, and the knights themselves had to wash their hands before eating, and then disinfect them with citrus.
It is noteworthy that the Templars did not eat game, they only consumed meat from the slaughter of healthy animals, they drank palm wine, in which aloe vera and hemp pulp were added. All these measures helped to fight parasites and pathogens of various diseases that could be in the water.
Thus, as experts say, diet, hygiene, and a healthy lifestyle explain so often found longevity among the Templars.
