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.

A hosszú, egészséges élethez szerencse, jó gének, de legfőképp jó szokások kellenek. A megfelelő életvitellel és étrenddel akár egy évtizeddel is meghosszabbíthatjuk életünket. De vajon miért öt, jól körülhatárolható helyszínen él a legtöbb százévesnél idősebb ember a világon? 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.

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! Dan Buettner is onderzoeker voor National Geographic, schrijver en oprichter van Quest Network, Inc. Zijn uitgebreide onderzoek voor dit boek voerde hem van Costa Rica naar Italië, naar Japan en verder.
