June is National Great Outdoors Month – something right up our alley! It’s a great opportunity to encourage children and adults alike to get outside and support a healthy lifestyle. Remember, one of the Power 9® principles for longevity is Moving Naturally. In the original Blue Zones areas of the world, people don’t exercise by going to the gym or running marathons; movement is built into their daily lives through gardening, walking, and other chores.

This Saturday, the Ramey Street Market Mural created by the art students of Paul Laurence Dunbar High School was unveiled to the Stop Six community.

Everywhere you look, the healthy choice is becoming the easy choice—as Blue Zones Project^®, gains momentum in its efforts to support longer, better lives. Now the community-led well-being improvement initiative is celebrating those who are helping to make their city one of the nation’s healthiest.
