Last week, we talked about Dan Buettner’s research on the Blue Zones, the five places in the world where people are the healthiest and live the longest. It’s important to remember that our genes dictate 10 percent of our longevity and lifestyle controls the rest.

You may have already read Buettner’s best-selling books, “The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who’ve Lived the Longest” or “The Blue Zones Solution: Eating and Living Like the World’s Healthiest People.” Perhaps, you are one of the more than 300 million viewers of his TED Talk “How to Live to Be 100+.”
