These places have been entitled “the blue zones”. While these blue zones are located all throughout the globe, there are certain commonalities among them. Some common practices of the individuals living in these locations include leading an active life, eating well, establishing strong bonds, and feeling a sense of purpose.

Limitations can include access to healthy food, the ability to exercise regularly, and finding a close-knit sense of community. While these limitations would require further research, there are ways that individuals can incorporate some of the blue zone practices in a way that is best suited to one’s lifestyle
