Chapters

Dan Buettner introduces the concept of Blue Zones, which are regions with exceptionally long-lived populations. He discusses the common characteristics of these zones, including a plant-based diet, regular movement, strong sense of purpose, social engagement, and family-oriented living. These factors contribute to longevity by shaping the environment so that healthy choices become the norm rather than a conscious pursuit.
  • Blue Zones are geographically defined areas where people live statistically longer.
  • Common features of Blue Zones include a plant-based diet, regular movement, a sense of purpose, social engagement, and family-oriented living.
  • Longevity in Blue Zones is a result of environmental factors that promote healthy choices.
