Dan Buettner is a world-renown speaker, published author, and Guinness World Record holder who founded Quest Network, Inc. and the Blue Zones project. The Blue Zones are five pockets or regions around the world that Buettner has identified where people tend to live longer and healthier lives. Studying these communities and cultures has yielded amazing results that can be applied to our lives. Buettner has discovered nine common denominators that the people living in these Blue Zones all share, and can be used to help you live a better life.
Buettner calls these, the Power 9, listed here:
- Move (find ways to move mindlessly, make moving unavoidable)
- Plan de Vida (know your purpose in life)
- Down Shift (work less, slow down, rest, take vacation)
- 80% Rule (stop eating when you're 80% full)
- Plant-Power (more veggies, less protein and processed foods)
- Red Wine (consistency and moderation)
- Belong (create a healthy social network)
- Beliefs (spiritual or religious participation)
- Your Tribe (make family a priority)
These things have been shown to help us live longer, healthier lives. It is up to each of us to determine how they fit into YOUR lifestyle. Learn how you can personalize these factors into reasonable and individual goals that fit your lifestyle needs. >>Click here for more details>>
