In the highlands of Sardinia there is a cluster of villages where
people enjoy extraordinary longevity, where people have lived to 100
years at a rate more than twice the average for the rest of Italy,
and where residents suffer a fraction of the diseases that commonly kill
people in other parts of the developed world. Scientists have named
this region the Blue Zone. Inspired by these mountainous villages, our
project "Blue Zones" seeks to understand and promote healthy longevity by
formulating a cross-cultural recipe of the world's best health and
lifestyle practices.
Blue Zones empowers people to live longer,
better lives by exploring the four regions of the world where people
live the longest, healthiest lives. Each year, we journey to a new
region to unlock the secrets of longevity and identify common factors
in lifestyles, diet, outlook and stress-coping mechanisms of the
world's oldest and healthiest people. Our interactive quests are
led by an award-winning team of experts and are accompanied by
lifestyle management tools that facilitate our audience members in
achieving their personal Blue Zone.
