Just Learned This: Why People in "Blue Zones" Live Past 100

Some places in the world have way more people who live over 100 — and it’s not genetics. They call these places “Blue Zones.”

They include spots like Okinawa (Japan), Sardinia (Italy), and Nicoya (Costa Rica). The common thread?Not strict diets or gym memberships, but small habits like:

• Eating mostly plant-based (think beans, not supplements)

• Moving naturally (gardening, walking, not step tracking)

• Having close friends and a clear sense of purpose

• Knowing how to relax — seriously, stress is deadly

Honestly, pretty refreshing compared to all the wellness trends out there.
