Eat Wisely

Centenarians seem to follow three main rules when it comes to healthy eating: They stop when they are 80 percent full; they eat mostly plants; and they enjoy a glass or two of red wine with friends. Creating environments that make healthy food choices easy is an essential Blue Zones Project principle.

Eat Wisely Track Activities:

  • Watch the Blue Zones Project Kitchen Checklist video
  • Watch all five episodes of the Eat Like a Centenarian video series
  • Join the Blue Zones Project Eat Wisely Challenge
  • Attend a Cooking Class, Potluck Moai, or Cooking Demo in your community

Move Naturally

Find ways to move more! The idea is that you’ll be naturally active and burn calories without thinking about it. People from the world’s original blue zones don’t pump iron, run marathons, or join gyms. They live in environments where moving naturally is just part of their daily routine.

Move Naturally Track Activities:

  • Watch the Sharecare video: Three Steps to Start Walking
  • Watch the Sharecare movement video: Yoga for Beginners
  • Join the Blue Zones Project Move Naturally Steps Challenge
  • Attend a Walking Moai in your community
Join today
October 1 – December 31

Right Outlook

Based on one of the Power 9 principles, garnered from the original blue zones areas. Meditation is one way to help give your outlook an easy lift. Create time and space to downshift and focus on what really matters.
