Blue Zones: Secrets for living longer

TAMPA (BLOOM) National Geographic Fellow, NYT Best Selling Author, Found of the Blue Zones Dan Buettner, who’s out with his new book “The Blue Zones Secrets for Living Longer: Lessons From the Healthiest Places on Earth”, joined Gayle Guyardo the host of the global health and wellness show Bloom, to share secrets to living a longer and healthier life.

Buettner discovered the five places in the world – dubbed blue zones, where people live the longest, healthiest lives. While exploring Okinawa, Japan; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Loma Linda, California; Ikaria, Greece; or Sardinia, Italy, Buettner witnessed firsthand how people enjoyed certain types of foods, specific connections with friends and family, and everyday movement routines that seemed to be naturally woven into their days.
