Around the world, there are remarkable areas known as “Blue Zones” where people live significantly longer lives. These regions are characterized not just by the longevity of their inhabitants but also by the quality of life they enjoy in their advanced years. The concept of Blue Zones was popularized by Dan Buettner, who identified five such regions: Okinawa (Japan), Sardinia (Italy), Nicoya (Costa Rica), Icaria (Greece), and Loma Linda (California, USA).
It crazy to me that there is no correlation between the two.
Last year, I had the opportunity to visit Sardinia on vacation and it is easy to see way people are healthy and happy there. Sardinia, Italy, particularly in the mountainous Barbagia region, a combination of genetics, diet, and physical activity plays a crucial role. The diet here leans heavily on whole-grain bread, beans, vegetables, fruits, and a moderate consumption of red wine.
