The Blue Zones

The Blue Zones are five regions around the world where people live significantly longer, often reaching ages of 100 or more. These areas include Ikaria (Greece), Okinawa (Japan), Sardinia (Italy), Nicoya (Costa Rica), and Loma Linda (California, USA). Research has identified common lifestyle traits among these populations, such as a plant-based diet, regular physical activity, strong social connections, and a sense of purpose. These factors contribute to their exceptional longevity and overall well-being, offering valuable insights into healthy living and aging.
