Blue Zones
The term “blue zones” was first coined by Dan Buettner, a National Geographic Explorer and Fellow and journalist, during an exploratory project he led in 2004. He traveled the world in search of communities where people not only lived longer but also enjoyed a high quality of life in their old age.
​
Blue Zones is now dedicated to creating healthy communities across the United States.
