Episode 1543: Why Volunteering is One of the Most Powerful Things You Can Do for Your Health by Naomi Imatome-Yun with Blue Zones

Informed and inspired by the world’s longest-lived cultures, the Blue Zones mission is to empower everyone, everywhere to live longer, better. Their work is rooted in their research and identification of the world’s longest-lived cultures and most extraordinary populations. Their findings were published in the New York Times best-selling books The Blue ZonesThe Blue Zones SolutionThe Blue Zones of Happiness, Thrive, and The Blue Zones Kitchen – all published by National Geographic books. They have now applied the tenets of the Blue Zones in over 50 cities throughout the United States, significantly improving health and lowering healthcare costs. They use an innovative, systematic, environmental approach to well-being that optimizes policy, urban and building design and social networks. Their work has been featured in media from CNN, NPR, and the New York Times.
