In a groundbreaking collaboration with National Geographic, Dan Buettner embarked on a mission during the early 2000s: to decipher the age-old secrets of longevity. This journey led to the identification of “Blue Zones” – specific regions where life doesn’t just extend longer but thrives with zest and vitality.
From the serene islands of Okinawa, Japan, and Ikaria, Greece, to the vibrant communities of Sardinia, Italy, Nicoya, Costa Rica, and even Loma Linda, California – these areas have intrigued scientists and enthusiasts alike. The shared traits among them? A focus on plant-rich diets, consistent natural activity, deep familial ties, and a zest for life that seems to defy the usual constraints of age.
