Imagine living well into your 100s. If that number seems out of reach, you haven't been to the Blue Zones. Because, in these areas around the world, 100 is just a number. And the centenarians who reside there are not just living, they are thriving…avoiding many of the chronic diseases that the US alone spends close to 3.6 trillion dollars mopping up. When Blue Zones founder Dan Buettner discovered these areas, he realized there are nine principles that they all follow. "The Power 9", as he calls it. But he didn't stop there. This New York Times multiple best selling author, award-winning journalist and 3x Guiness World Record holder for long distance cycling wanted to share the gift with other areas of the world. And now, with his new book The Blue Zones Challenge, his goal is give a four week plan that will add ten quality years to your life. On this episode of the HIListically Speaking Podcast, Dan shares more about Blue Zones living and the powerful steps you can take to live well.
