Secrets to a longer, better life

If you want to live to a healthy 100, eat like healthy people who’ve lived to 100. Working with renowned doctors and experts Gianni Pes and Michel Poulain, we identified the places around the world where people live the longest, drawing a line around each area in blue ink. Together, we created the concept of Blues Zones: the set of characteristics that have produced the world’s longest lived people. Their secrets can help you live a longer, better life.
