Blue Zones Equal Longevity & Quality of Life
February 22, 2009
Congratulations to my father, who turns 92 years old today! The mystery of why some people live a long and healthy life may never be fully explained. Much attention is now being paid to the so-called “blues zones,” and why many of the residents of these areas tend to live longer than anywhere else. As if I needed a reason to return to Italy, that fact that the island of Sardinia is identified as a “blue zone” can only serve as added inspiration.
NPR posted this article on a book written by author Dan Beuttner about the blue zones, offering an overview of thoughts behind the phenomenon.
