Now more than ever, people are searching for ways to live a longer life, and Dan Buettner, author and expert on the longest-lived communities in the world, has been on the hunt for those answers for more than 15 years.
Buettner's new documentary on Netflix, "Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones," has grasped the attention of longevity-seekers.
Throughout the limited series, Buettner travels to the five "Blue Zones," areas with the highest rates of living to 100 — or becoming centenarians — and the highest middle-age life expectancies in the world.
The five Blue Zones are:Okinawa, JapanSardinia, ItalyLoma Linda, Calif., U.S.Ikaria, GreeceNicoya, Costa RicaDON'T MISS: People who live to 100 don’t eat like typical Americans: Here are ‘the 5 pillars of a longevity diet’After interviewing residents of those areas and observing their practices, Buettner was able to find commonalities across all five Blue Zones, and come up with four things that each community does to contribute to their longevity.
