Thanks for spending a few moments with us. We’ve
developed a program to help you feel better, look
younger, and avoid 70% of the diseases that will kill
you before your time.
It doesn’t’ involve a pill or some goofy supplement;
those things don’t work. The only proven way to turn
back your biological clock is by changing your
lifestyle. But what does that mean?
The Science Behind Blue
Zones
For the past five years, I’ve (Dan Buettner) been taking
teams of scientists to five pockets around the world
where people live the longest, healthiest lives. These
are called the Blue Zones.
In Sardinia Italy, for example, we found a Bronze-Age
mountain culture that has, proportionally, 20 times as
many 100-year-olds as the United States does. Their
secret: wine with staggering levels of antioxidants and
a tradition of celebrating old age.
Last year, our team discovered a new Blue Zone in
Northern Costa Rica where adults have the longest life
expectancy in the world. Our scientists found eight
factors that make this region one of the longest-lived
in the world.
Our work has been funded by National Geographic and the
National Institutes on Aging, and our findings have
appeared on Good Morning America, Anderson Cooper 360
and the ABC Nightly News.
How it Works
In my book, The Blue Zone, I reveal the secrets of the
Power9: the nine common denominators that all of the
world’s longevity all-stars share. Here at
BlueZones.com, we've organized these behaviors into four
main categories:
 Move
Naturally – Make your home, community and
workplace present you with natural ways to move. Focus
on activities you love, like gardening, walking and
playing with your family.
Belong to the Right Tribe – Surround
yourself with the right people, make the effort to
connect or reconnect with your religion and put loved
ones first.
Eat Wisely – Instead of groping from
fad diet to fad diets, use time-honored strategies for
eating 20% less at meals. Avoid meat and processed food
and drink a couple of glasses of wine daily.
Right Outlook – Know and be able to
articulate your sense of purpose, and ensure your day is
punctuated with periods of calm.
This may all sound too simple, but the payoff is huge.
The average American could live up to 14 more good years
by putting these habits to work.
Get Started Right Now
To help you model your habits after the Blue Zones
centenarians, we’ve created several tools, beginning
with
Vitality Compass™.
This is the most accurate online longevity calculator
available; it will tell you how long you’re expected to
live, how old your body really is, and how you can
improve your odds of living younger, better.
The Vitality Coach™ uses the best behavioral science
available to guide you in getting the most good years
out of life. Six seconds a day for six weeks can add up
to four years to your life expectancy, effectively
making you biologically younger.
And each day at BlueZones.com, we offer fresh news and
articles, digging up the most interesting research and
healthy living tips.
