First, I have to admit that, yes, I have been watching Zac Efron’s new series on Netflix, “Down to Earth” and it has become a guilty pleasure! And no I am not of the generation that swooned over Zac and High School musical. I can honestly say I’ve never seen it.
One episode of “Down to Earth” explores the centenarians of Sardinia’s Blue Zone. Who doesn’t want the gift of longevity?! Needless to say I was hooked from the start.
Blue Zones describe the 5 places around the world where people consistently live over 100. From these zones, there are evidence based common denominators called the Power 9:
- Move naturally
- Purpose
- Downshift
- 80% Rule
- Plant slant.
- Wine @ 5
- Belong
- Loved ones first.
- Right tribe.
Learn more about Blue Zones and the Power 9, here, or with all this extra time at home living in our new COVID world, maybe it’s worth trying some of these Blue Zone recipes!
