Why do people live so long in the blue zones?  It is true that clean air, clean water, daily, moderate, or light exercise, fresh fish, and reduced stress are all critical factors. Before I tell you the interesting part, you will find it interesting that the term “blue zones” came about because of a demographer studying centenarians. In other words, a person who studies demographics want to know why certain people live to 100 years or more in certain areas. Every time they found a special account of this, they put a blue dot on a map. Over time, when more and more people were revealed to live to 100, those dots became blue “zones” on the map. So, here’s the surprise… In these areas where people live so long, they value elders more. There is more social connection. There is more support and interaction and love given to the elders. The elders are placed in higher regard. They are not placed into homes and forgotten. This is a good lesson for the rest of the world. #bluezone #bluezones #longevity #lifespan https://johnspencerellis.com
