What does it take to live a happier, healthier and longer life?

The city of San Marcos is exploring that question through its recent partnership with the Blue Zones project. The term "Blue Zone" refers to a community where residents live longer.

Wednesday on Midday Edition, we hear from a San Marcos-based physician about what the initiative entails, what it means to be a "Blue Zone" community and what this approach could mean for wellness and care.

Guest:

• Dr. Jorge Otañez, associate chief medical officer, TrueCare San Marcos
