LIVE TO 100
Secrets of the Blue Zones is coming to Netflix on August 30th!
Travel around the world with author Dan Buettner to discover five unique communities where people live extraordinarily long and vibrant lives.
It’s finally here! The 4-part docuseries Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones is coming to Netflix on August 30th! In the early 2000s, Dan Buettner collaborated with National Geographic to reverse-engineer a formula for longevity. As many of you know, he travelled for years all around the globe from Japan to Costa Rica in pursuit of places where people live much longer than average, and the concept of “Blue Zones” came to life.
This documentary will be officially streaming on Netflix next Wednesday, August 30. One of the episodes is fully dedicated to the blue zone located in the Nicoya Peninsula, which was visited by the Netflix production in March 2022. We couldn’t be more excited for everyone to see the fascinating and beautiful place that our Nicoya Peninsula is.
Our purpose is to raise awareness about the consumption of high-quality products, with nutritional value and contribute to a healthier future for our consumers, through local products and superfoods such as honey, coffee, maya nut, tea, and purple corn flour, which support the farming of traditional Costa Rican ingredients.
Our Guanacaste Centenarios Coffee line is known worldwide due to its high content of antioxidants of kahweol and cafestol, contains 70 times more antioxidant active molecules than regular coffee, this is because of the exposure to ocean breeze, soil minerals and high sun exposure. Imagine waking up every day with a fresh cup of joe that makes you live longer.
Our coffee alternative Morning Brews are made of the superfood maya nut, a seed naturally caffeine free and rich in calcium, potassium, iron and fiber. Especially rich in an amino-acid called Tryptophan, this substance is connected to the synthesis of serotonin, which is linked to deep sleep, arterial pressure relief, and relaxation, in other words: It helps balance our nervous system. Nowadays we all need a little help balancing stress, and this product comes in handy.
Blue Zones Nicoya raw bee honey is 100% natural and unpasteurized. Our bees help pollinate 70,000 hectares of the last Tropical Dry Forest Conservation Area in America, which is also located in the blue zone of the Nicoya Peninsula.
Blue Zones Nicoya has a variety of herbal teas. The herbs used are native and authentic of the centenarian’s gardens in Guanacaste – Costa Rica; these healthy teas are carefully curated and processed to bring out the best of their benefits. Our herbal tea harvests were recently certified as USDA Organic, this means that everything in our farm is pesticide and herbicide free! Making our longevity tea line even more amazing.
Hot sauces or chileros as we call them here in Costa Rica, are a staple in every tico table. That’s why we created 3 delicious hot sauces to accompany every meal. Many people don’t know the health benefits of hot sauce which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties as well as vitamins C, E, and A. Hot sauce by nature is a powerhouse of healthy eating.
