Sardinia: Drink wine, never die.
Sardinia isn't just a 'Blue Zone', an area with a higher concentration of centenarians than usual. It's better described as the beginning of the Blue Zones phenomenon. And it's also a place where you can buy a home for as little as one euro.
In this second episode of Blue Zones: Revisited, we ask what happens to the people whose villages are designated as Blue Zones, consider whether red wine, goats milk, or even pizza might be the secret to a long life, and untangle what is knowable from what researchers maintain is unknown.
