Have you heard about Blue Zones? Maybe you’ve watched the Netflix series Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones and you’re wondering whether you should follow some of the principles it covers. If so, this video is for you.

I read the original Blue Zones book years ago and loved it. I also watched the series recently, and I loved that too. The creator, Dan Buettner, is an extremely skilled communicator and storyteller, and most of the takeaway messages are universal principles we can all benefit from.

Here’s the problem: the Blue Zones profiled– with one exception–are not the world’s real Blue Zones. Secondly, the entire Blue Zone movement strongly advocates veganism–which is fine–except that none of these areas are vegan. Not one.

In this video I’ll talk you through the flaws in the Blue Zone theory, where the world’s real Blue Zones are – and why inhabitants of these places have longer lifespans. I’ll also discuss why wealth is the biggest determining factor of lifespan and why you really should focus on healthspan instead. Let’s get started!

LIFESPAN V HEALTHSPAN?
While lifespan is the length of time you are alive, healthspan refers to the length of time that you enjoy good health. It represents your quality of life in terms of physical and mental wellbeing, as opposed to just how long you live. Maximizing healthspan involves adopting a healthy lifestyle, preventive healthcare measures, and managing chronic conditions to ensure a longer period of vibrant and disease-free living.

WHAT WE’LL LEARN
* Why the Blue Zones in the book and TV series are not actual Blue Zones
* The world’s real Blue Zone countries
* Why money correlates with longevity more than any other factor
* Why you should focus on healthspan rather than lifespan
* Why lifespan can be purchased, but healthspan must be earned
