Blue Zones Secrets for Living Longer

The Blue Zones began with the five natural locations in the world where people lived long, healthy lives. After taking scientists to those places and studying the contributing factors, Buettner working in partnership with AARP and the United Health Foundation applied the principles to one location, Albert Lea, MN with stunning success in making residents healthier. The blueprint for the Blue Zones Project was created and has now been expanded to 70 communities across the U.S. impacting millions of people. This book covers this and as health practitioners, we need to know more about it.
