Dan Buettner’s “How to live to be 100+” TED talk reveals three areas of the globe where people have lived to be centenarians because of diet, exercise, relationship, and cultural habits that I can learn from and implement in my own lifestyle. Because the people in my community have been living the way they have for years they would not be able to adapt to the ideas of exercise, religion/belief, eating habits, and hanging out with certain people. What I’m going to do is go into depth of the ways Buettner

Dan Buettner’s “How To Live To 100+” is a TED talk that explores three of the world’s “Blue Zones”. According to Gulli (2008), Blue Zones “are places where people have the lengthiest lifespans”. Of the many Blue Zones in the world, Buettner closely investigated Sardinia, an island off the coast of Italy; Okinawa, an archipelago south of Tokyo; and Loma Linda, an area in California containing the Seventh-Day Adventists. During his talk, Buettner (2009) acknowledged that “Only about 10 percent of how

There are certain parts in the world called Blue Zones. Dan Buettner and a team of researchers including a National Geographic team searched all over the world looking for these Blue Zones what they called the Blue Zones study. Blue Zones are the hot spots for longevity. Individuals living in these particular Blue Zones live to be over 100 years old. The overall life expectancy for Americans is about 77 years of age. The life expectancy for a woman tends to be approximately five years longer than

National Geographic Explorer Dan Buettner introduced us to areas in the world where people are living longer and healthier lives. Dan Buettner and his team of researchers took us to four different areas around the world known as The Blue Zones. They uncovered the secrets to health and longevity and told us how we can apply these habits in our lives. The four Blue Zones are: • Okinawa Islands, Japan • Barbagia region of Sardinia, Italy • Loma Linda, California • Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica We

Dan Buettner’s chapter on Singapore was very interesting, especially when comparing it to our American way of life. At first glance the idea of living in a country with very strict laws, such as public canings for what we would call a minor offense, was mind blowing to me. How could this be one of the happiest places in the world? Upon further study my mind was changed to some degree, in fact I could see myself visiting there some day, but only have studing on the most current laws. I think the United

Dan Buettner mentioned one point where he said that authoritarian government yield the greatest happiness. Authoritarian government control people and make decisions for them. It seems weird because no one likes being controlled and making decisions for you. I wouldn’t be happy if someone restrict me and make decisions for me. Cultural values are different for everyone and some people get happiness by abiding their cultural values with different opinions regarding them. As far as I am concerned my

This argument will be based off Dan Buettner’s Ted talk video, which is “How to live to be 100.” Dan Buettner, educator and public speaker, presented “how to live to be 100” on TED Talk. He said that “Humans are designed to die - evolution only allows us to be old enough to procreate”. It’s a known medical fact that as we get older our cells fail to replicate and damage begins to grow. Per Buettner 10% of what it takes to live to be 100 is genetic. I don’t think most people are aware of that. We

In the TED Talk “How to Live to be 100+”, Dan Buettner talks about lifestyles that are helping people live to be 100+. According to the Danish Twin Study, biology only factors into 10 percent of how long we live, the other 90 percent it based off lifestyle (Buettner 2009). Dan Buettner and his colleagues found three Blue Zones to try to find what types of lifestyles these people are living to become centenarians. Blue Zones are places where people live longer than the majority of people in the world

In Dan Buettner’s “How to live to be 100+” TED talk, longevity and three major ‘blue zones’ around the world are discussed. The blue zones of the Nuoro Province, Okinawa, and the prairies of Minnesota are the three focused on in the talk. Their lifestyles are talked about and it is made clear that there is no secret formula when it comes to longevity. Not every practice of each blue zone is touched on because many are societal changes that have been passed down and kept up for years and take about
