blue zone
Where centenarians cluster
A blue zone is a region where people live significantly longer than average, with unusually high concentrations of centenarians.
The term comes from researchers who circled these areas in blue on maps.
Identified blue zones include Okinawa, Sardinia, and parts of Costa Rica.
The concept has spawned lifestyle advice about diet, community, and daily movement: She adopted blue zone eating habits.
