Creating healthier habits may seem challenging, but Blue Zones Project Southwest Florida is here to help YOU. Set a Blue Zones Resolution for 2022 and add more "good years" to your life. Practicing positive habits can be easier when you take small steps every day. Here are a few suggestions to help you create a daily routine to live longer, better.

Start by getting a better picture of your current health by taking the RealAge Survey at bzpsouthwestflorida.sharecare.com. It's okay if you have taken the survey in the past, chances are it's been a while. Re-taking the survey throughout the year will help you monitor your progress and see how you're improving!

Here are a few suggestions to help you live out the Blue Zones Power 9 lifestyle principles. Choose one or two from each category. Remember, small steps can create big change.

MOVE NATURALLY 
  • Commit to moving 30 minutes daily (or break it down into two 15-minute intervals)
  • Use parking spaces furthest from building entrances, you'll add more steps to your day
  • Find a partner to exercise with you; or join a Blue Zones Project Walking Moai
RIGHT OUTLOOK
eat wisely
  • Add more fruits and vegetables to your plate, strive for 5 servings daily
  • Add a small handful of nuts to your daily diet

Social connections
