Blue Zones are regions of the world where people live much longer than average. The term first appeared in the November 2005 National Geographic magazine cover story "The Secrets of a Long Life" by Dan Buettner. He identified five areas that he considers "Blue Zones": Okinawa (Japan); Sardinia (Italy); Nicoya (Costa Rica); Ikaria (Greece) and among the Seventh-day Adventists in Loma Linda, California. He offers an explanation, based on data and first hand observations, as to why these populations live healthier and longer lives.
