Discovered the Blue Zones and their secrets to longevity
Dan Buettner is a National Geographic Fellow and author who identified the world's five 'Blue Zones' where people live the longest, healthiest lives. His research in Okinawa, Sardinia, Nicoya, Ikaria, and Loma Linda revealed common lifestyle factors including plant-based diets, natural movement, strong social connections, and sense of purpose. His Blue Zones Project helps communities adopt these principles to increase longevity.
