Episode 74 seems like a high number, but it is not when discussing age in Blue Zones, places where people normally can live into their 90s while many reach 100. What are the secrets of the “Blue Zones?” Much research has been done, through books, articles, and even a netflix documentary to understand what makes […]

by stayadventurous on October 22, 2017 in Guest Post, Sunset Sunday
