Key points:
- "...the world consisted of at least five 'Blue Zones,...In this handful of hidden corners scattered across the globe...people were sailing past the 100-year mark with surprising frequency, and often avoiding dementia."
- "People residing in these Blue Zones are outliving us because they have figured out what others have not...They consistently eat a healthful diet, and they also move around about every 20 minutes or so during each day."
- "The homegrown, plant-based diets of the Blue Zones residents are only about half of the longevity equation...The rest is about making healthy choices the easiest ones by turning them into instinctual rituals of daily life that people don't have to think about or use willpower to fight for."
- "If you want to live longer and be healthier, don't try to change your behaviors, because that never lasts for the long run...Think about changing your environment."
Look around you. How do your home, school, community, and workplace configurations keep you from optimizing your well-being?
