secrets of longevity and healthy living
BLUE ZONE TRIPS
Did you know that the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica is one of the world’s five famed Blue Zones?
The term “Blue Zone” was coined by National Geographic author, Dan Buettner, in his book, “The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest.” The book lists a host of studies illustrating several places on the planet where there are more centenarians than other areas of the world.
There are certain characteristics that these places share, which he realized can be classified into nine categories, or the “Power 9” as he calls them. Visiting these places and ones like them (for there are likely similar, undiscovered places in this world) can be an enlightening experience for those interested in health and longevity.
THE POWER 9
INCLUDES
1. Move Naturally
2. Purpose
3. Downshift
4. 80% Rule – Eat until you are 80% full
5. Plant Slant
6. Wine at 5
7. Belong
8. Loved Ones First
9. Right Tribe
We custom create trips in the Blue Zones. We started in Costa Rica, and have expanded our Blue Zone offerings into Europe. All of our trips feature immersion into the communities and ways of life of the respective areas. You can plan to meet and interact meaningfully with locals, eat fresh & healthy cuisine, get in a large dose of natural movement via a fun daily activity.
There is also plenty of time to rest, reflect, and spend time connecting with your fellow trip attendees. We can guarantee that you will feel better at the end of your trip than you did at the start, and be motivated to incorporate some of the new tools you discovered into your life once you return home.
