Blue Zones Project: Creating a Healthy Community
East Hawaii has been selected as one of three areas in the State as a Blue Zone. The Blue Zones Project is inspired by research about the regions of the world with the highest concentrations of centenarians (e.g., Okinawa; Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece). These areas share nine common traits that contribute to longevity. Carol will explain these traits and how we can apply this research as individuals, at our workplace, and as a community.
