This episode
talks about the 5 “Blue Zones” identified by a National Geographic
study, in search of the longest living people around the globe. The
goal of the study was to find clusters of populations where people
lived to be over 100 years old and were still in good mental and
physical health. In this episode we share the secrets that all 5
Blue Zone populations had in common:
1.
Prioritizing family life and family relationships
2. Engagement and regular participation in spirituality and/or
religious activities
3. Engagement with friends and service in their
communities
4. Purposeful living & Contribution
5. Regular (moderate) physical Activity
6. Plant-based diet or plant-centric diet (only eating meat
sparingly, if at all)
7. Moderate caloric intake (only eating to 80% full
8. Regular daily stress management
These
lifestyle habits can be implemented by anyone who wants to live a
long and healthy life. In our future podcast episodes, we’ll dial
in a little more and share tips and ideas for how you too can live
long and prosper, like the Blue Zoners.
