Welcome to Living to 100

What better way to learn how to live longer, than from the people who've lived the longest. That is what caught my attention as I was browsing books at the bookstore. The title read: The Blue Zones - Lessons For Living Longer From The People Who've lived The Longest,
by Dan Buettner.

So I picked it up and browsed through it. I liked what I saw; I saw real life stories about people that have lived the longest.

I really do need to live to 100 so I can accomplish all the things I want to do. Hope I'm healthy enough at that time to still be active.

The Blue Zones

Lessons for living longer from the people who've lived the longest

The Blue Zones - on AmazonDan Buettner was doing research on people that lived the longest. The places with the highest number of them were circled in blue. That's how The Blue Zones got its title.

Lessons from the people who have lived the longest

Although living in completely different areas of the world, and also in different types of areas, the people that lived the longest, had some general characteristics in common.

They did not eat until full. One group even had a mantra for this, that translated into English, meant, Let me only eat until 80% full.

They all maintained some kind of regular physical movement or exercise.

Most ate little meat, if any; more like once a month or once a year.

Those are the generalities. Each group also had ways in which they differed. I won't go in to that here though, I'll let there be some things you can discover on your own, should you decide to read the book.

If you like learning from others who have lived it, you'll enjoy reading The Blue Zones by Dan Buettner.

    Could you add google maps to this lens and point out some of the blue zones? I'm guess it is places like Tibet.

    Hi Vallain, I've added a couple of the Blue Zones. Tibet was not one of them.
