The Blue Zones Project was founded by Dan Buettner through research based on the healthiest, longest-lived people on earth. The Blue Zones consists of 5 places in the world where people live the longest and are the healthiest: Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Ikaria, Greece, and Loma Linda.
By implementing practices from the Blue Zones project, you will look at your health in a new way that will change your life for the better in nearly every way. Each new habit and improvement to your environment supports the rest, each one easier to add than that last, all working for your health. This will ultimately provide a lifestyle change that will be sustainable for the rest of your life.
“How long can each of us expect to live? What really happens to our bodies when we age? Why can’t we just take a pill to extend our lives? How can we live longer? How can we live better? And why does changing our lifestyles add more good years?” - Dan Buettner
It's not about weight loss, your health is oh-so-much more than a number on the scale.

Living a longer, better life
