Blue Zones, The: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (The Blue Zones)
Description
In this expanded paperback edition of his New York Times bestseller, longevity
expert Dan Buettner draws on his research from extraordinarily long-lived
communities—Blue Zones—around the globe to highlight the lifestyle, diet,
outlook, and stress-coping practices that will add years to your life and life
to your years. A long healthy life is no accident. It begins with good genes,
but it also depends on good habits. If you adopt the right lifestyle, experts
say, chances are you may live up to a decade longer. So what’s the formula for
success? National Geographic Explorer Dan Buettner has lead teams of
researchers across the globe to uncover the secrets of Blue Zones—geographic
regions where high percentages of centenarians are enjoying remarkably long,
full lives. The recipe for longevity, Buettner has found, is deeply
intertwined with community, lifestyle, and spirituality. You won’t find
longevity in a bottle of diet pills or with hormone therapy. You’ll find it by
embracing a few simple but powerful habits, and by creating the right
community around yourself. In The Blue Zone, Buettner has blended his
lifestyle formula with the latest longevity research to inspire lasting
behavioral change and add years to your life. Read more
