The Blue Zone is a selection of regions around the globe where residents live unusually long and have a minimal risk for disease. They are healthier than most people, and it is believed a large part of that has to do with the foods they eat.
It is important to note, however, that Blue Zones don’t all have the same foods available to them. In Okinawa, a Japanese region made up of a group of islands in the East China Sea, residents have the longest life expectancy in the world. The islands are believed to hold a record number of people over 100, and the average age for males and females is 84 and 90, respectively.
