Blue Zones

I am so exited to write this blog, because it is so great. I don't know if you have heard of the Blue Zones? A Blue Zone is a region of the world where people commonly live active lives past the age of 100 years. Scientists and demographers have classified these longevity hot-spots by having common healthy traits and life practices that result in higher-than-normal longevity. The name Blue Zone seems to have been first employed in a scientific article by a team of demographers working on centenarians in Sardinia in 2004. There have been identified 5 blue zones around the world.

Sardinia, Italy
The islands of Okinawa, Japan
Loma Linda, California
Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica
Icaria, Greece

I saw this the first time on Oprah Winfrey show and I loved it so I went to their website www.bluezones.com and as IVMMM strives for the best in life we wanted to share this with you. Blue Zones helps people live longer and better. On the website you can find the world's longest lived, happiest people and their secrets. You can test your happiness, health and so on. Furthermore the website shows some videos about these people from the Blue Zones and their lifestyle.
