The Blue Zone Diet -- living to 100

One question I’ve asked myself about the Blue Zones concept is do these regions still exist? This whole idea came about and received attention in the early aughts … meaning the centenarians who were the backbone of the studies were born in the early 1900s, give or take and questionable records of births etc notwithstanding . Apart from the Loma Linda Adventists, all the other Blue Zone regions were pretty much isolated communities that the 20th century was passing by…with lifestyle very much dictated by circumstances and not choice.

It’d be interesting to see if the children, grandchildren, great grandchildren (and so on) are achieving the same degree of health and well-being without significant medical intervention that those first study subjects displayed.
