Blue Zones
I’ve been meaning to blog this for a few weeks and NPR reminded me to do so. This week on Weekend Edition Sunday the show includes an interview with the author, Dan Buettner. I first heard of the book/project, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from the People Who’ve Lived the Longest on Fitness Rocks (an actual MD doctor reviews literature on fitness and health). The research, in partnership with National Geographic and the National Institute on Aging explores regions/people with the longest life expectancy.
Why are they called Blue Zones? When they made the maps, initially, these areas were circled in blue. The book has it’s own website.
