Life Doesn’t End At 40, 50 Or 60 And You're Not "Old" Either. by Meerahbel: 11:25am On Sep 07, 2023
Life doesn’t end at 40, 50 or 60 and you're not "old" either.

You’re just getting started.

There are places in the world where people live until 100 and 60 is the new 30.

They’re called Blue Zones.

Places like Okinawa in Japan, Sardinia in Italy, Ikaria in Greece and a few more.

These places have a few things in common:

👉🏽Lowest rates of middle-aged mortality
👉🏽Low rates of cancer, diabetes, obesity and heart disease
👉🏽Strong communities
👉🏽And of course, they have ALL have exceptional diets!!

So what are they eating?

Lots of plant-based goodness:

👏Vegetables
😍Legumes
🤩Whole grains
😎Beans
😋Sweet Potatoes
😁Healthy fats (olive oil, avocados…)
🥳Turmeric
🙌Fruits

And they consume less dairy and meat.

They don’t avoid meat or fish entirely but they certainly don’t make them the stars of the show.

But it’s not just about WHAT they eat, it’s also HOW they eat.

👉🏽They eat slowly
👉🏽Savoring every bite
👉🏽They eat with others and have conversations

Not only are these some of the healthiest places on Earth but they’re also considered to be some of the happiest places too.

So if you want to live longer, take a page from the Blue Zone playbook.

Eat well, slow down, enjoy your meals and spend time around good people!
