Across the world, certain extraordinary areas known as “Blue Zones” are home to people who live remarkably long lives, with an unusually high number reaching centenarian status. 

Researchers studying this longevity have identified specific dietary habits as a major factor in the health and well-being of these populations.

These longevity-rich “Blue Zone” diets come from five diverse locations: scenic Ikaria (Greece), health-focused Loma Linda (California), the island of Sardinia (Italy), the Okinawa islands (Japan), and the Nicoya Peninsula (Costa Rica).
