Blue Zone

If I had the choice to attain an online education while living anywhere in the world I would choose to live in a blue zone www.bluzones.com/about-blue-zones. There are (5) blue zones in the world and they are: The Italian Island of Sardinia; Okinawa ,Japan; Loma Linda, California; Costa Rica's isolated peninsula; Icaria, and isolated Greek island.

Speech, Dan Buettner talk about Blue zones. These Blue Zones are specific areas found around the world where the elderly lives in vigor with record-setting ages. Considering these blue zones and the habits that are practiced there, I think it’s quite possible for the neighborhood that I live in now or even in any neighborhood community here in the United States to adopt the longevity lifestyles the blue zone areas talk about. It is not easy to change or persuade people to alter their ways…

They say some food can make you live longer there are five cultures around the world with the highest proportion of centenarians globally.

longer than the national average. These places are called Blue Zones and are located all around the world. People are living such long lives in these Blue Zones because they have made simple lifestyle changes. In America, the odds of someone living to be 100 years old are very slim because Americans have not fully embraced these types of lifestyle changes. America can easily adopt some of the Blue Zone lifestyle changes such as including physical activity throughout the day, but will struggle…

As Buettner points out, there is no actual diet for longevity. However, he had this to say about the diets of people in the Blue Zones: Instead, these people drink a little bit every day, not a hard sell to the American people. They tend to eat a plant based diet. Doesn’t mean they don’t eat met, but lots of beans and nuts. And they have strategies to keep from overeating, little things that nudge them away from the table at the right time. (Buettner par. 34) Eating a plant based diet is…

The other day, I saw a news article about a ninety year old lady who was still dancing despite her age. She hardly looked or acted her age and was clearly on her way to fulfilling National Geographic journalist Dan Buettner’s task of living to be over one hundred which he investigates in his speech “How to Live to be 100+”. In his speech, Buettner delves into what exactly extends life by looking into so called Blue Zones or “ areas where people are living to age one hundred at rates up to ten…

The diet higher in selenium, zinc, calcium, and phosphorus content of goat’s milk, which are essential for the ideal immune system activity promote healthy aging.

know how to make it better. Admittedly, I should have asked for help sooner and much more than I did, instead of just struggling on my own and not getting very far. In the end, I managed to finish it, though I don’t think I did the best job that I could have done because at that point I was so stressed out about it that I just wanted it done. If I ever have to do that kind of paper again I will certainly pick a topic that is easier to focus and I will probably work with someone in the…
