What are Blue Zones? Blue Zones are regions of the world where people live much longer than average, often surpassing 100 years of age. These regions are known for the high concentration of centenarians and the low rates of chronic diseases. The lifestyle, diet, and strong sense of community in these areas are believed to contribute to the longevity and overall well-being of the residents.
