Episode description
My guest this week is Dan Buettner. He’s a New York Times best-selling author and founder of The Blue Zones. Dan discovered the five places in the world, called blue zones hotspots, where people live the longest, healthiest lives. They are the Barbagia region of Sardinia, Ikaria in Greece, the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica, Loma Linda in California and Okinawa, Japan.
Over a number of years, Dan teamed up with National Geographic to go to these ‘blue zones’ and study their people. What were they doing differently? How do they live? And what’s their secret? Dan found 9 common lifestyle habits in these regions, which he called the Power 9.
Today, Dan takes me through their rituals (some may surprise you) and tells us how we can adapt this 'blue zone lifestyle' in our own homes.
Dan’s books:
The Blue Zones Kitchen
The Blue Zones of Happiness
The Blue Zones Solution
