In this episode of the Fit is Freedom Podcast, which is part two of my three-part series, I will be walking you through the Blue Zones True Vitality Test. I will share my results and give my opinions on its quality and findings! 

Ever since that Netflix documentary came out, I feel like everyone is talking about the Blue Zones! Of course, it’s very interesting, and as someone who values health and fitness, I’ve created a series of podcasts exploring more about the Blue Zones and how we can learn from their example. 

The True Vitality Test is a quick online quiz that will calculate your life expectancy, health expectancy, and even provide recommendations on how to increase both results. The quiz is based on the research of how people in the Blue Zones live and was created in collaboration with the University of Minnesota School of Public Health. 

In the podcast, I walk the listeners through each of the questions, answering them for myself. The quiz asks a variety of questions about not just my dietary habits but also my physical health, family history, overall happiness, friendships, and more. 

At the end of the quiz, I am presented with a healthy life expectancy, life expectancy, and a potential life expectancy. I am also given advice like adding more whole grains and being more friendly in order to increase my life expectancy overall.
