(Week 1) LIVE TO 100: SECRETS OF THE BLUE ZONES, THE JOURNEY BEGINS
January 12 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Join us at the Island Community House to watch and discuss a four-part documentary series Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones. Travel around the world with author and National Geographic explorer Dan Buettner to discover five unique communities and investigate the diet and lifestyles behind longevity. After the program, discuss how we can implement small changes to our lifestyles to improve overall health and wellbeing.
In the first episode of a four part series, Buettner travels to Okinawa, Japan, where the island’s oldest residents still share a serene way of life motivated by a sense of purpose, or ikigai. Meet residents – including the world’s longest-lived women – eating three foods that could help every American live longer.
Dan Buettner, Blue Zones founder, is an explorer, National Geographic Fellow, award-winning journalist and producer, and New York Times bestselling author. He identified the five original blue zones–the places in the world with the healthiest, longest-living populations, including Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Ikaria, Greece; and Loma Linda, California.
