A Must Read If You Want To Stay Young-Discover The Blue Zones!

Well finally it has happened-I know someone who has made it to the Motherland-the Oprah Show! Dan Buettner-author,

explorer, adventurer,athlete, writer,film-maker and boyfriend of Cheryl Tiegs(the famous model from the 60's and 70's).

I admire him for all of those attributes and notwithstanding the  maturity factor of choosing an "older woman" to hang with!

I have been following his work for a number of years, savoring the photo shoots in National Geography as he bicycled across the world

exploring different tribes. Then he moved to TV with the Discovery Channel, and started to explore the Fountain Of Youth. His newest work is

all about the "Blue Zones, Lessons for Living Longer From The People Who've Lived the Longest. "

He has been working with Dr. Mehmet OZ (Oprah's favorite Doctor) and they were on the Oprah show today discussing the Blue Zones…4 places on this planet

where the natives live healthy vital lives past 100! What is the secret?  Well we will be discussing many of these points over the next few weeks.
Dan Buettner was one of the key speakers at our University of Minnesota "Positive Aging" Conference 2 weeks ago. What fun! Handsome dude too!

Definitely made the eyelashes flutter a bit!  Dan has agreed to a podcast from yours truly as soon as we can find a hole in his busy schedule-that will be truly

fascinating!

One of the most interesting things I will share with you and a common Theme this week is on Tribes…

Tips on building up your inner circle of your own Blue Zone!

• Identify your inner circle-Know the people who reinforce the right habits, people who understand or live by Blue Zone Secrets.
• Be Likeable-Of all the centenarians interviewed in the study-there wasn't a GRUMP IN THE BUNCH!
• Create Time Together-Spend 30 minutes a day with members of your inner circle.

Take a daily walk. Establish a regular time to meet or share a meal together.Building a strong friendship requires some effort, but it is an

investment that can pay off handsomely in added years!
