Living to be a hundred, if you have great quality of life as well, is a dream for many of us. And that’s just what people in the Blue Zones are doing.
A ‘Blue Zone’ is an area of the world where people consistently live to over a hundred years old, without the burden of chronic disease. These Blue Zones – five in all – were discovered by Dan Buettner and his team of scientists during a Nat Geo expedition in collaboration with the National Institute on Aging. The five blue zones include Okinawa in Japan, which boasts the longest-living women in the world; Nicoya in Costa Rica; Sardinia, an island off Italy’s coast that hosts the longest-living men in the world; Ikaria, an island in the Aegean Sea; and Linda Loma in California where residents live about 10 years more than the average American.
