Book Review: The Blue Zones

"With the right lifestyle, experts say, chances are that you may live up to a decade longer. What’s the prescription for success? National Geographic Explorer Dan Buettner has traveled the globe to uncover the best strategies for longevity found in the Blue Zones: places in the world where higher percentages of people enjoy remarkably long, full lives. And in this dynamic book he discloses the recipe, blending this unique lifestyle formula with the latest scientific findings to inspire easy, lasting change that may add years to your life.

You’ll meet a 94-year-old farmer and self-confessed "ladies man" in Costa Rica, a 102-year-old grandmother in Okinawa a 102-year-old Sardinian who hikes at least six miles a day, and others. By observing their lifestyles, Buettner's team has identified critical everyday choices."

 This book was well written from years of research with people who had lived long and healthy lives. Many segments brought tears of pure joy to my eyes and jovial laughter to my lips as I read of the antics and antidotes from people who had lived happy, healthy for over 100yrs of their lives. I learned that anyone, who follows a few basic rules, can live long and healthy lives as well... emphasis on healthy!
