Plant-Based FAQs: What can we learn from the Blue Zones?

Ashley Kitchens: Plant-Based Registered Dietitian and Virtual Nutrition Mentor Season 1 Episode 57

Chronic diseases are a common thing we see, especially as we age.

And even though genetics play a role in your lifespan and susceptibility to various chronic diseases, your lifestyle plays possibly an even greater role.

Today, we’re going to discuss pockets in the world called “Blue Zones.” If you haven’t heard of this term or maybe you have and aren’t quite sure what it means, it refers to geographic areas throughout the world in which people have low rates of chronic disease and live longer than anywhere else. In this episode, we discuss the commonalities of people living in Blue Zones and why they live longer.
