What Is a Blue Zone?

A "Blue Zone" refers to a geographic region where people consistently live to 100 years of age and beyond, experiencing fewer chronic diseases and a higher quality of life. These areas are not defined by a single factor but by a cluster of interconnected lifestyle habits, including:

Key Characteristics of Blue Zones:

  • Exceptional Longevity:
    People in Blue Zones consistently live to be 100 years old or older at a much higher rate than the general population.

  • Health Span:
    Not only do they live longer, but they also enjoy fewer chronic diseases and maintain their vitality well into old age.

  • Unique Lifestyle Factors:
    Blue Zones are shaped by a combination of healthy habits—diet, activity, social ties, and a strong sense of purpose.
