Habits to live to 100, Blue Zones and co...

The Wellness Scoop
About this episode

I’m joined by National Geographic explorer, longevity expert and author, Dan Buettner. Dan’s work centres on reverse-engineering the lifestyles of individuals living in the Blue Zones, the regions in the world with the greatest number of centenarians, and specifically, how these individuals eat, move, live, and interact with others to live long and healthy lives.

 

We discuss:

  • How to eat to live to 100
  • Why deliciousness is the key to eating well for life
  • Shaping your food environment for health and happiness
  • Exercise habits for longevity
  • The impact of community on your wellbeing
  • How to reduce stress and why it matters for longevity

 

Each week I unpack a wellness trend with GP Gemma Newman. This week on Fact or Fad we’re looking at cold showers.
