RE: Lessons for living longer from centenarians across the globe
There are many factors that contribute to longevity. I think one of the most important is stress, or lack thereof. Stress in modern western society is very high. Life is competitive and people lack the support of family and community. Many of the Blue Zones mentioned in the article you cited are known to have a laid-back attitude toward life, people live close to the earth and to each other, and the weather is not overly harsh. Thanks for the great article.
Agree. I just wonder how long this 'blue zones' will manage to stay out of the stresfull life of modern people.
