Publisher's summary

Dan Buettner, the New York Times best-selling author of The Blue Zones, lays out a proven plan to maximize your health based on the practices of the world's healthiest people. For the first time, Buettner reveals how to transform your health using smart eating and lifestyle habits gleaned from new research on the diets, eating habits, and lifestyle practices of the communities he's identified as "Blue Zones"—those places with the world's longest-lived and thus healthiest people.

With this audiobook's audacious belief that the lifestyles of the world's Blue Zones could be adapted and replicated in towns across North America, you'll be inspired by the specific stories of the people, foods, and routines of our healthy elders; understand the role community, family, and naturally healthy habits can play to improve our diet and health; and learn the exact foods—including the fifty superfoods of longevity and dozens of recipes adapted for Western tastes and markets—that offer delicious ways to eat your way to optimum health.

Filled with moving personal stories, delicious recipes, checklists, and useful tips that will transform any home into a miniature blue zone, The Blue Zones Solution is the ultimate blueprint for a healthy, happy life.

A Must Read!

Would you listen to The Blue Zones Solution again? Why?

Yes, I loved this book. As a dietitian and personal trainer, clients are always wanting to follow a fad diet. I have always rejected the all or nothing mentality and try to keep messages simple and science-based. This book illustrates that movement, connection and a Mediterranean diet should be embraced and eliminating most carbs and increased meat intake are not paramount to good health.

What does Joe Barrett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love audio books because I can go back and replay areas that I want to cement in my memory. I've listened to many other books that Joe has narrated and find his voice very calming.

The Only Authority In Health

this book should be the only book referenced in diet and health and how to live long. it is based on the places in the world where people live the longest. if that is not the one and only metric for long life then I don't know what it is.

Recommended

This is a great book. I wished I lived in a Blue Zone. What a great concept.

Diet and exercise aren’t enough to live your best life

The Blue Zones are areas of the world where the most centenarians live happy healthy lives. Diet and exercise are very important, but so are the social relationships with family and friends. A community, and sense of belonging is also important to keeping your mental and physical health, long into old age.

TREASURE

I loved everything regarding this book. If you are a health enthusiast, this book is a must have preferably in hard cover.

Live Long Live Well

The author gave clear examples on how manageable work stress and quality food led to happy long lives.

Eat well, stay active, belong

In short, the blue zones presents evidence and examples of things we already knew. Eat real food from the earth and avoiding overly processed goods. Stay active in your day to day life. Office jobs probably take 10 years off a man's life. Belong to community that is positive and supports you. A community that reinforces these positive habits and you'll live a long and healthy life.

Everyone needs to read this book.

The data driven, whole world approach taken to identify lifestyle patterns of the longest living and healthiest people is very compelling.

I love that the Blue Zones solution doesn’t point a finger at the individuals suffering from the obesity epidemic. Instead, the finger is pointed at the environment we live in. The findings really inspire you to take control of your own surroundings.

I also loved that the book covers all lifestyle change rather than just diet change.
