Secrets to Longevity by Dr. David Lowe

In 2005 National Geographic released their findings of a search for the longest lived and healthiest people in the world.  They came up with 3 areas where longevity and health could be well documented.  They were called Blue Zones.  Later 2 more areas were added to this list.  Is there something in common with all of these areas?  What can we learn from these Blue Zones to help us live longer and healthier lives, to not only add years to our life but add life to our years?
