Since publishing his bestselling The Blue Zones,
longevity expert and National Geographic Explorer Dan
Buettner has discovered a new Blue Zone and launched a major
public health initiative to transform cities based on
principles from this book. The Blue Zones, Second
Edition is completely updated and expands his
bestselling classic on longevity, drawing on his research
from extraordinarily long-lived communities--Blue
Zones--around the globe to highlight the lifestyle, diet,
outlook, and stress-coping practices that will add years to
your life and life to your years.
The new Blue Zone
is Ikaria, Greece, where strong, sweet wine, family, and a
Mediterranean diet all play a role in longer life. Also new
in this book is a reading group guide, designed for groups
to read about, discuss, and implement many of the simple
changes advocated for better health.
A long, healthy
life is no accident. It begins with good genes, but it also
depends on good habits. If you adopt the right lifestyle,
experts say, chances are you may live up to a decade longer.
Buettner has led teams of researchers across the globe--from
Costa Rica to Sardinia, Italy, to Okinawa, Japan and
beyond--to uncover the secrets of Blue Zones. He found that
the recipe for longevity is deeply intertwined with
community, lifestyle, and spirituality. People live longer
and healthier by embracing a few simple but powerful habits,
and by creating the right community around themselves. In
The Blue Zones, Second Edition, Buettner has blended
his lifestyle formula with the latest longevity research to
inspire lasting, behavioral change and add years to your
life.
Region by region, Buettner reveals the
"secrets" of longevity through stories of his travels and
interviews with some of the most remarkable--and happily
long-living people on the planet. It's not coincidence that
the way they eat, interact with each other, shed stress,
heal themselves, avoid disease, and view their world yield
them more good years of life. Buettner's easy to follow
"best practices" and list of healthy lifestyle choices from
the Blue Zones will empower readers to live longer,
healthier, more fulfilling lives.
