Why Miloa?<\/span><\/p>\n

During my five years of research, I became convinced that my greatest ally in improving the health and well-being of my beloved patients was plants. <\/p>\n

So, I based the name on a nutritious fruit, the apple. <\/p>\n

Because<\/span> apples are delicious, good for you, sweet and sometimes tart or sharp.<\/p>\n

Because<\/span> \u201c an apple a day keeps the doctor away<\/em> \u201d.<\/p>\n

Did you know that apples are rich in the antioxidants quercetin, catechins, epicatechins, procyanidins and flavonoids? And that, in the Middle Ages, ointments were made from apple pulp? <\/p>\n

Because<\/span> apples, round and plump, have come to symbolise abundance. <\/p>\n

Because<\/span>, with over 20,000 varieties of apples worldwide, growing on every continent except Antarctica, and the many and varied sizes, colours and flavours available, it is the fruit of diversity and tolerance. Did you know that apple trees originated in the primal forests of Kazakhstan, close to the Chinese border, in the celestial mountains of Tian Shan? There are 27 varieties of Malus sieversii, which are the ancestors of all the apples grown throughout the world and are resistant to all diseases. These trees, which first appeared more than 65 million years ago, are sometimes 300 years old, grow to a height of 30 metres and have a circumference of 2 metres. Natural selection was aided by bears, which ate only the sweetest and plumpest of the apples and excreted the pips. Nomads travelling the Silk Road did the rest\u2026<\/p>\n

Because<\/span> it is the symbol of forbidden knowledge.<\/p>\n

Because<\/span> it is the symbol of love.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Because<\/span> it is the emblem of the best pop group of all time, the craziest, liveliest and most amazing city in the world, and the IT company whose founder\u2019s vision and innovation revolutionised the world.<\/p>\n

\u2026 For all these reasons, I chose the apple.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pomme in French, apple in English, appel in Dutch, Apfel in German and \u041c\u041d\u03bb\u041e (milo) in Greek.<\/p>\n

I have been drawn to Greece since I was a teenager. I was captivated by its mythology, history and language long before I discovered its warm climate, delightful cuisine, magical beaches, alluring archaeological sites, its quiet shady squares, charming mountain villages and the volcanic temperament of its inhabitants. <\/p>\n

I am deeply in love with Greece, the mother of all civilisation. So it was only natural I would choose the Greek name for apple\u2026\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
