How to Age Well and Live Long

Episode Summary:

Have you ever wondered what the secret is to living a long, happy, healthy life?

People who live the longest, have the lowest incidence of disease and disability, and are the happiest, have a lot more in common than just exercise and a healthy diet.

Author and journalist, Dan Buettner, traveled around the world to study the “pockets” or communities of people with the highest number of centenarians (people who live to be 100), which he calls the Blue Zones.

What are they doing differently that contributes to their emotional well-being, disease prevention, and longevity?

The people living in these Blue Zones have similar lifestyle habits and environments that go far beyond food and movement. There’s also a strong focus on social activities, community, relationships, stress reduction, and spirituality.

In this episode we’ll explore those commonalities and find ways we can incorporate them to make our own lives happier and healthier.

“If you have a positive outlook, you are shown to live longer.” - Sarah Haas
