What we're drinking: Domaine de l'Amandine Côtes du Rhône Villages 2016 

TOPIC: 

What do Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Ikaria, Greece; and Loma Linda, California all have in common? They might seem like random places around the globe, but they’re actually the five locations where humans live the longest. Coined ‘Blue Zones,’ there are nine major through lines with the people who live in those places, and scientists believe those common denominators create an environment for humans to live long, healthy, and happy lives. On today’s episode, we unpack the diet and lifestyle of people who live in Blue Zones and how we can apply those principles to our daily life. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• The importance of getting in daily low impact movement, like walking and gardening 
• The role that community rituals, like drinking tea or wine, play in how we age 
• What it looks like to live your life's purpose as your profession
• Tips for how to lower your stress levels and decompress 
• Creative ways to have a more plant-based diet 
• The trend of reverence and appreciation of the elderly in Blue Zones 
• How getting ‘smart’ sun exposure can benefit your mental and physical health 
• Why having a strong social connection is crucial for longevity
