This week Dr. Daniel Correa speaks with author and explorer Dan Buettner. Dan shares his knowledge of longevity from traveling the world and meeting people who live in communities that have high populations of people who live past 100-years-old. Dan talks about these areas around the world that are referred to as Blue Zones and offers tips to start incorporating practices that have been linked to these communities such as gardening and eating whole grains and beans.
