This chapter explores the impact of faith-based communities on well-being and longevity, discussing how belonging to such communities can lead to longer lives due to reduced risky behaviors and built-in social circles. It also highlights Loma Linda as a unique faith-based blue zone and the influence of the Adventist culture in promoting healthful practices.
What if the secret to living longer wasn't just kale and spin class, but transforming your whole environment and community?
After decoding longevity hotspots he introduced as the Blue Zones, Dan Buettner discovered their vitality ensues from ecosystems promoting natural movement, plant-based eating, purpose, community, and stress reduction. These universal experiences shape our ability to build deeply healthy lives, yet we rarely learn from those who've mastered the art - the world's most vigorous centenarians.
I'm thrilled to share this myth-busting conversation to glean simple, enjoyable lessons on adding life to our years from the wisdom of history's most remarkable super-agers. Join me and Dan, author of The Blue Zones Secrets for Living Longer, as we sidestep pitfalls by infusing our lives and communities with insights from the globe's greatest teachers on living well past 100.
