The Blue Zones Challenge: A 4-week Plan for a Longer, Better Life
Dan Buettner is an American National Geographic Fellow and a New York Times bestselling author. As an explorer, educator, author, producer, storyteller, and public speaker Dan co-produced an Emmy Award winning documentary. It is thanks to Dan Buettner and a team of colleagues that the Blue Zones were discovered and documented. In the span of about eight years research was conducted that resulted in five pockets around the world being exhibited for their outstanding longevity. These zones, now denominated Blue Zones are:
- Okinawa, Japan
- Ikaria, Greece,
- Sardinia, Italy,
- Loma Linda, California
- Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica
Dan is the founder of Blue Zones LLC, and the Blue Zones Project which is helping transform communities across North America into healthier and longer-lived communities by adopting the Blue Zones diet and lifestyle. This diet and lifestyle are based around the eating patterns of the longest-lived people on earth, the centenarians living in the Blue Zones around the world.
The Blue Zones way of life is not just healthy eating

The best way to improve your life is to have a solid foundation and with this book we will challenge you to improve yourself and become the best version of you. While a healthy diet can and does help the way people have lived in the Blue Zones includes an active lifestyle in a less intense and more easy-going way.
