Blue Zones: Secrets of a Long Life

Wednesday, November 13 – 7:00 PM
Free, advance registration required

To find the path to long life and health, Nick Buettner and the BlueZones team study the world’s “Blue Zones" areas, communities whose elders live with vim and vigor to record-setting age. In his talk, he shares the 9 common diet and lifestyle habits – Power 9® – that keep them spry past age 100. Blue Zones now works in partnership with municipal governments, large employers, and health insurance companies to implement Blue Zones Projects in communities, workplaces, and universities. Blue Zones Projects are well-being initiatives that apply lessons from the Blue Zones to entire communities by focusing on changes to the local environment, public policy, and social networks. The program has dramatically improved the health of more than 5 million Americans to date.
