Characteristics of Blue Zones: Longevity, Moderation, and Community
The Blue Zones is a fascinating book that explores five cultures with a high number of centenarians. These include the Seventh-day Adventists in California, a group in Japan, an area in Greece, an area in Sardinia, and possibly Costa Rica. The author identifies common practices among these long-lived populations, such as eating primarily vegetables, moderate drinking, and regular but not vigorous exercise. They also prioritize community, staying active throughout the day, and avoiding overeating. Additionally, many of them have a religious or spiritual focus. These are just some of the characteristics shared by these remarkable individuals.
