“Blue Zones” are locations where people live longer than generally expected, where people reach the age of 100 at amazing rates, and most importantly, they live with health and vigor. In the November 2005 issue of the National Geographic magazine, the feature story was titled “Secrets of Living Longer.” That was the first widely distributed information about “Blue Zones.” The idea of Blue Zone living has continued to be studied and is becoming a popular lifestyle around the world. That National Geographic article featured the life styles of healthy centenarians living in Sardinia, Italy; Okinawa; and Loma Linda, California. Subsequently, additional “Blue Zones” have been identified and studied, Including Ikaria, Greece; and Nicoya, Costa Rica. It turns out that a long healthy life is no accident. It begins with good genes, but then depends on “longevity habits” that can add up to a decade or more of life. This introductory presentation highlights what these very culturally diverse “Blue Zones” have in common that contributes to a long healthy life. At the end of this session you will have the opportunity to join a local group in a “Blue Zone Challenge.” In the challenge you will learn how to incorporate the key habits of the world’s healthiest, longest-living people into your own daily routines. It’s not a just a diet. It’s a lifestyle. And it’s easier than you may think!
