According to National Geographic fellow Dan Buettner, if you want a long and healthy life, it may help to live in a "blue zone."
Buettner coined the term for his book "The Blue Zone: Lessons for Living Longer from the People Who've Lived the Longest." The area refers to demographic and geographic areas of the world where people are most likely to live to be 100 or more.
"What my team tried to do is look at the environmental components that nudged them all day into eating a little bit better, moving a little bit more and the big point, socializing more and having a strong sense of purpose," said Buettner. "It turns out that that conveys more longevity than any pill you can take."
