Blue Zone your Life: Live the way, you programmed your life and can choose when to say goodbye !

Dan Buettner and his magnificent 2 decade of research on the Blue Zones is something to consider seriously. 

It's not only Ikigai, but various blue zones have also discovered their recipes for living a long, meaningful, full of zest, socially and religiously bound, independent and paying back, lovey life. 

Check the 9 core principles, aka Power9, of the Blue Zones. (Loma Linda, US, Nicoya, Costa Rica, Sardinia, Italy, Icaria, Greece, and Okinawa, Japan)

Dan has written several NYT bestsellers, worth reading. 

Blue Zones have a cross-sectional similarity in how they live a healthy life beyond the higher averages of the world population!  You see below the Power9 factors that contribute to their well-being in common! 

There are some 5 Blue Zones and adding slowly, that are spread across the globe where people have decoded the art of living 100 years. 



Netflix and Discovery Channel have Dan's documentaries on the Blue Zones, and they have created huge discussions on choices of food, lifestyles and belongingness, beliefs that are quite diverse and divergent, yet they achieve the same centenarian goals. 

Dan has several NYT blockbusters on the Blue Zone and the latest below intrigues me. 

I may not want to live that long but, yes, would like to tap into those food choices that the blue zones swear by. Being a foodie and a conscious eater, this book is on my next buy list! 

Book cover is fascinating, isn't it? David McLain has done great job!  You can buy this book on Amazon!

I would love to know if you have any idea about India having a Blue Zone of its own. 

I believe we have certain tribes in the Northeast India that may have similar lifestyle of the blue zoners, especially quite a semblance to the P9? 

Take good care and look forward to your comments and views.
