In this episode we are discussing the research from the best-selling book by Dan Buettner who is a Journalist, Explorer, & Author of The Blue Zones Secrets For Living Longer: Lessons from the Healthiest Places on Earth
You’ve probably heard the term ‘Blue Zones’ based on a recent Netflix series, Live to 100 – Secrets from the Blue Zones, and the best-selling Blue Zones Cookbooks from Dan Buettner. The Blue Zones are locations around the world with the longest and healthiest living people, many of whom live to over 100.
These healthy, long living people do not pursue health and longevity as if it were a chore. Their health, longevity and sharp brains stem from their surroundings. We’ll explore what aspects of the Blue Zones lifestyles contribute to the ability to thrive as they age.
