National Geographic Explorer and best-selling author Dan Buettner has traveled the globe to uncover the best strategies for longevity,which he found in the Blue Zones: places around the world where higher percentages of people enjoy remarkably long,full lives.
In The Blue Zones,Buettner returns to Sardinia,Italy; Ikaria,Greece; Okinawa,Japan; Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula; and Loma Linda,California to check in on the super-agers living in the blue zones and interprets the not-so-secret sauce of purpose,faith,community,down-time,natural movement,and plant-based eating that has powered as many as 10 additional years of healthy living in these regions. And Buettner reveals an all-new Blue Zone-Singapore-where pro-health government policies have increased longevity (and reduced healthcare costs),making it the first man-made Blue Zone yet explored.
Throughout his two decades of research,Buettner has worked with some of National Geographic's top photographers-including David McLain and Gianluca Cola-to document the healthy habits of the world's longest living communities. In this informative collection,their work punctuates Buettner's lively text,offering a beautiful introduction to the Blue Zones and a companion to fans of the Blue Zones Netflix series.
