- Blue Zone Principles: The Power 9 Longevity Practices
Dan Buettner’s research identified five geographic regions (Sardinia, Okinawa, Loma Linda, Nicoya, Ikaria) where people regularly live past 100. The "Power 9" practices they share — including natural movement, strong social ties, sense of purpose, and mostly plant-based eating — are correlational findings, not RCT-derived prescriptions. They are however consistent with broader longevity research and provide a useful integrative framework. - Move naturally throughout the day rather than only in dedicated exercise sessions
Blue zone populations are not athletes — they live in environments that make constant low-level movement unavoidable.
