no im not talking about politics here
but
instead about a way of life
now blue is my favorite color
so
im glad to be in a blue zone
whats a blue zone
its from a book about it
its areas of the world where there are high concentrations
of centenarians thats folks who are a hundred years old+
there is only one place in the us
besides of course the country n
its loma linda california
im quite familiar with loma linda having gone to college
only a few minutes away from there
their hospital there was a tertiary referral source
and
there were exposure to a lot of folks from loma linda
most are seventh day adventists
so whats special about them
they are vegetarians
some eat fish
no sugar allowed ie no sweet tea for these guys
wouldnt make good southerners would they
they eat a biblical diet
fruits grains nuts and vegetables
the have a a close social network
they dont drink anything but water that includes no wine
now i mostly drink water rainwater that is
except
i wouldnt be a good seventh day person since i also
drink 2 cups of coffee a day and a glass of wine at night
interesting these are added to what the other blue zones
do
so we are in sync with the other blue zones
so
we can qualify as a blue zone
now one is the nicoya peninsula in costa rica a blue zone
they use the three sisters as the main stock of their diet
squash corn beans
interesting is that beans is a common food in all these
blue zones
also my last blog about the phe garden mentioned the
three sisters they plan to plant for the fall
the other common theme
they walk a lot in their daily lives
they have strong social circles
they dont have gym memberships but they are moving
as part of their daily lives
they dont abuse their body with excesses
they tend to live stress free lives
so in summary
we thats my wife she and i
officially since im declaring it so
live in a
blue zone
daily-sun.com
we eat beans 2-3 times a week
we mainly eat a vegetarian diet
we eat dried fruit and nuts each day
we eat some meat mostly turkey or chicken
unless of course we go to franklins bbq
we eat the mind diet-google it and then do it
so you can score a 100 like those centenarians
we especially the ogd moves most of the day
especially the mornings
yes no gym memberships needed here
we have a glass of wine at night
we live a fairly stress free lives
we relax in our zen place here
so color us
blue
