Eat Wisely
Centenarians seem to follow three main rules when it comes to healthy eating: They stop when they are 80 percent full; they eat mostly plants; and they enjoy a glass or two of red wine with friends. Creating environments that make healthy food choices easy is an essential Blue Zones Project principle.
Eat Wisely Track Activities:
- Watch the Blue Zones Project Kitchen Checklist video
- Watch all five episodes of the Eat Like a Centenarian video series
- Join the Blue Zones Project Eat Wisely Challenge
- Attend a Cooking Class, Potluck Moai, or Cooking Demo in your community

Move Naturally
Find ways to move more! The idea is that you’ll be naturally active and burn calories without thinking about it. People from the world’s original blue zones don’t pump iron, run marathons, or join gyms. They live in environments where moving naturally is just part of their daily routine.
