In The Complete Blue Zones, Buettner returns to Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece; Okinawa, Japan; Costa Rica''s Nicoya Peninsula; and Loma Linda, California to check in on the super-agers living in the blue zones and interprets the not-so-secret sauce of purpose, faith, community, down-time, natural movement, and plant-based eating that has powered as many as 10 additional years of healthy living in these regions. And Buettner reveals an all-new Blue Zone—Singapore—where pro-health government policies have increased longevity (and reduced healthcare costs), making it the first man-made Blue Zone yet explored. Throughout his two decades of research, Buettner has worked with some of National Geographic''s top photographers—including David McLain and Gianluca Cola—to document the healthy habits of the world''s longest living communities.

A partir de una década de investigación sobre las zonas azules, las regiones donde vive la gente más sana y más longeva del mundo, Dan Buettner ha diseñado un plan que nos enseñará a tomar el control de nuestra salud, revolucionar la forma en que comemos y agregar años a nuestra vida. A sus 104 años, Gozei Shinzato se reúne a tomar el té con sumoai --un grupo de amigas que han prometido velar la una por la otra por el resto de su vida-- un par de veces a la semana. Por más de 100 años, la familia Melis ha empezado el día con un huevo frito en manteca, una pieza de pan agrio, un vaso de leche de cabra y dos tazas de café. Todos los días, Panchita Castillo, de 107 años, se pone un vestido de algún color brillante al despertar, barre la entrada de su casa y da la bienvenida a los visitantes con una bendición y una sonrisa. Ellos viven en las zonas azules --Okinawa, Japón; Icaria, Grecia; Cerdeña, Italia; Loma Linda, California y la Península de Nicoya, Costa Rica-- donde a la gente "simplemente se le olvida morir". Allí se registran los índices más bajos de cáncer, obesidad y enfermedades del corazón, las comidas siempre se hacen con la familia y los amigos, se prefiere caminar que usar el coche y la gente sigue cocinando y comiendo como sus ancestros. Este libro te llevará de la mano en un viaje alucinante donde aprenderás a crear tu propia zona azul para que tú y tus seres queridos no sólo vivan muchos, muchísimos años, sino que los vivan felices, llenos de fuerza, amor y vitalidad.
