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.
