What is a Blue Zone?
A Blue Zone is a region where people tend to live longer, healthier lives, with a higher likelihood of reaching the age of 100. These areas, like Sardinia, Ikaria, as well as Okinawa, Japan, and Nicoya, Costa Rica, are studied for their lifestyle and dietary habits, which may contribute to longevity.
What Diet Promotes Longevity?
A diet promoting longevity typically includes plant-based foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. It limits or eliminates red meat, and uses little processed foods or sugar.
Share Some Soup With Friends!
Eating with friends is healthy because it fosters social connections, reduces isolation and promotes mental well-being. Socially engaged meals encourage mindful eating and healthier food choices. Sharing meals provides emotional support, reducing stress, and enhancing the overall dining experience. Studies in longevity-focused regions suggest that strong social ties, including communal meals, contribute to a longer and healthier life.
