The new Netflix documentary miniseries Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones by Dan Buettner seems to be all the rage right now, and one of the main premises put forward in this documentary is the idea that the heathiest way to live is to avoid eating meat.

 

But is there truth to that claim?

 

This episode promises to be an enlightening journey into the world's Blue Zones, regions renowned for their high percentage of centenarians.

 

Why
should you tune in?
