- 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. - Daily stress downshift rituals
Every Blue Zone population has a daily practice for discharging stress — prayer, napping, ancestor veneration, or happy hour.
