The Blue Zones Solution

by Dan Buettner

The practical follow-up to The Blue Zones: what the longest-lived people actually eat (mostly plants, beans daily, little meat, modest wine), how they move and connect, and how to redesign your kitchen, home and social circle to make those defaults easy, with recipes. It is more usable than the original.

CLICK TO SEE

Read it if…

you liked the Blue Zones idea and want the daily version.

Skip it if…

you want rigorous nutrition science; the evidence is observational.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Design the environment; willpower fails.
  2. Beans, greens, nuts, whole grains, every day.
  3. Eat with people; the table is medicine.

Do this first

Make beans the center of one meal daily for a month.

Our verdict

Practical and pleasant.
