ABOUT BLUE ZONES
The blue zones are the areas of the world where people live the longest, having registered the highest concentration of centenarians. The original blue zones hotspots are in Sardinia, Italy; Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica; Okinawa, Japan; Loma Linda, California; and Ikaria, Greece.
After identifying these areas, teams of scientists were taken to each location to study lifestyle characteristics that might explain these extraordinary longevity patterns. They discovered that across blue zones populations, the same cluster of habits exists that nudge people to do the right things in the long run.
These nine specific tenets are called the Power 9®:
MOVE NATURALLY
PURPOSE
DOWNSHIFT
80% RULE
PLANT SLANT
WINE AT 5
RIGHT TRIBE
LOVED ONES FIRST
BELONG
Having demonstrated the effectiveness of the Blue Zones Power 9 principles in improving people’s lives, Blue Zones have proven evidence that simple environment changes, making the healthy choice the easy choice, can have a big impact. Blue Zones bring its expertise and over 20 years of research to deliver life-enhancing experiences and retreats.
