Longevity Villages of the World

7/6/2017

0 Comments

 
Our world tour continues. This week we focus on a handful of villages that share one thing in common: their residents often live into their 90s or longer. Putting genetics and breathing clean air aside, the second common denominator: villagers in these places are physically active, eat a healthy diet low in sugar, manage stress, get lots of restorative sleep, and remain socially connected.

The Hot Spots:
Acciaroli, Italy
Bama, China  
Bapan, China
Campodimele, Italy
Hunza, Pakistan
Loma Linda, California
Montacute, England
Nicoya, Costa Rica
Okinawa, Japan
Sardinia, Italy
Symi, Greece
​
Vilcabama, Ecuador
