Dan Buettner és munkatársai felkeresték Földünk Kék Zónáit, hogy utánajárjanak a hosszú élet titkainak. Costa Ricán, Szardínián, a japán Okinava-szigeteken, a kaliforniai Loma Lindában és egy apró görög szigeten, Ikarián tett látogatásai során Buettner felismerte, hogy néhány egyszerű, de hathatós szokás kialakítása megteremtheti egy hosszabb és egészségesebb élet lehetőségét.

Bár a hosszú élet titkait mindenkinek saját magának kell megtalálnia, Dan Buettner a munka nagy részét elvégezte.” - Cseke Eszter és S. Takács András, az On the Spot alkotói.

A partir de una década de investigación sobre las zonas azules, las regiones donde vive la gente más sana y más longeva del mundo, Dan Buettner ha diseñado un plan que nos enseñará a tomar el control de nuestra salud, revolucionar la forma en que comemos y agregar años a nuestra vida. A sus 104 años, Gozei Shinzato se reúne a tomar el té con sumoai --un grupo de amigas que han prometido velar la una por la otra por el resto de su vida-- un par de veces a la semana. Por más de 100 años, la familia Melis ha empezado el día con un huevo frito en manteca, una pieza de pan agrio, un vaso de leche de cabra y dos tazas de café. Todos los días, Panchita Castillo, de 107 años, se pone un vestido de algún color brillante al despertar, barre la entrada de su casa y da la bienvenida a los visitantes con una bendición y una sonrisa. Ellos viven en las zonas azules --Okinawa, Japón; Icaria, Grecia; Cerdeña, Italia; Loma Linda, California y la Península de Nicoya, Costa Rica-- donde a la gente "simplemente se le olvida morir". Allí se registran los índices más bajos de cáncer, obesidad y enfermedades del corazón, las comidas siempre se hacen con la familia y los amigos, se prefiere caminar que usar el coche y la gente sigue cocinando y comiendo como sus ancestros. Este libro te llevará de la mano en un viaje alucinante donde aprenderás a crear tu propia zona azul para que tú y tus seres queridos no sólo vivan muchos, muchísimos años, sino que los vivan felices, llenos de fuerza, amor y vitalidad.

Wie wil het niet: oud worden en een gezond en actief leven leiden. Schrijver en onderzoeker Dan Buettner reisde de hele wereld over en vond plekken waar de mensen gezond en vitaal oud worden. Van deze mensen leerde hij negen krachtige en toch eenvoudige lessen die ons op weg kunnen helpen naar een langere levensduur.Waar hij deze mensen heeft gevonden? In De blauwe gebieden. Wat is een blauw gebied? Het is een plaats in de wereld waar hoge percentages van de bevolking een verbluffend lange levensduur hebben. De bewoners zijn in staat hun gezondheid en vitaliteit te behouden tot ze ouder dan tachtig, negentig of zelfs honderd zijn. Maar hoe doen ze het? Genetica? Dieet? Lotsbestemming? Of verschilt hun benadering van het leven fundamenteel met die van ons? Om het antwoord te vinden reist Buettner, gewapend met het meest recente onderzoek op het gebied van langer leven, naar de vier erkende blauwe gebieden: Sardinië (Italië), Okinawa (Japan), Loma Linda (Californië) en het schiereiland Nicoya (Costa Rica). De blauwe gebieden laat zien dat het niet komt door pillen, chirurgie of medicatie. Het geheim zit in de alledaagse dingen die ze doen: het voedsel dat ze eten, het gezelschap waarin ze verkeren en hun zienswijze op het leven. De blauwe gebieden combineert het nieuwste en beste wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar veroudering met inspirerende voorbeelden van echte mensen die hun gouden jaren hebben bereikt met minder ziektes, actief leven en de aanwezigheid van een levendige kring van vrienden en familie. Door hun voorbeeld te volgen laat De blauwe gebieden zien hoe u met simpele aanpassingen van uw levensstijl jaren kunt toevoegen aan uw levensduur!

效法藍區居民，透過每一天的飲食、活動與人際互動， 創造屬於你自己的健康小宇宙。 生活在現代社會， 大環境的變化不斷促使人們做出有害健康的選擇。 我們遠離自然、追求飲食的口感與精緻化， 以高科技產品來取代日常勞動，也忘了關懷親愛的家人。 我們以為自己在追求進步的美好生活， 殊不知長久下來，這樣的生活模式只會讓人腰圍漸粗、疾病纏身，甚至心靈困頓。 以藍區生活為基準的健康長壽計畫， 只要四週，就可讓你活得久也活得好 藍區（Blue Zones）機構創辦人丹・布特納帶領團隊走訪全球五大長壽村：希臘伊卡利亞島、義大利薩丁尼亞半島、日本沖繩、美國加州羅馬琳達區，以及哥斯大黎加的尼科亞半島，他發現當地居民不僅極少罹患癌症等現代常見疾病，也擁有較長的壽命和愉悅平靜的心靈。 這五大長壽村的居民以實際行動證明，想要重拾健康，無需神奇偏方，只要讓飲食方式回歸自然樸實，給身體足夠的活動機會，並且與周遭親友真心交流，讓心靈有所依歸，便自然可以重回身體強健、心靈富足的健康軌道。 各界名人真誠推薦 住在台灣的我們，縱使外在環境無法跟這五個藍區相比，但是在意識覺醒之後，卻可以建立個人的排毒生活模式，讓自己減少受到外在環境的影響。 ────作家．廣播電視主持人 朱全斌 這本是少數會從「打造環境」的論點出發，提倡長壽秘訣的書，如第五章永續生活中提到的「服務他人是孤獨的最佳解藥」，所強調的自身價值提升與自信心培養，又或是「多與對的人交往」所提及的「群體感染力」，其實都在強調「培養相互支持的關係」對於長壽的重要性。 ────東台精機工具機事業處副總經理．「一粒米」會長 嚴璐 本書作者與其團隊針對性的尋找百歲人瑞密度最高之所在（數倍於美國本土），並以田野調查的方式，探討長壽者共通的生活方式。這些看似老生常談，卻有豐富且嚴謹實證支持的九個生活作息方針，如何被落實、培養、成為紀律，正是本書所要傳達的主要訊息。 ────藍色邊境暨佳齡健康管理顧問（股）公司董事長 吳啟誠 如果你現在還無法和我一樣，一週撥個兩天的時間擁抱田園生活、投入農事勞動，不妨試試《藍區挑戰》中所介紹的方法，以四週的時間，從檢視自己內心真正的需求開始，重新設計當下的生活環境，而不必一直被熙攘雜沓的現代生活牽著走。 ────蕃薯藤共同創辦人．數位經濟暨產業協會理事長 陳正然
