Are Blue Zones A Myth?
If you knew the exact blueprint to live past 100, would you follow it? Immortality may be out of the cards (for now), but some say that taking a page out of the “Blue Zone” playbook could potentially prolong your lifespan.
Whether browsing the aisles of your local health food store or reading up on Bryan Johnson-style “Blueprints” for longevity online, it would appear that humans have some innate fascination with prolonging life. Surveys back this up too, as the Pew Research Center has previously reported that nearly three-quarters of American adults wish they could live as long as 100 years. Many Americans report that they’d be open to centenarian status if they’re at least afforded a good quality of life without too much pain, chronic illness, or dependency on outside care.
