Costa Rica one of the five blue zones
The Blue Zone represents five places in the world with exceptionally high numbers of healthy, long-lived people. These Blue Zones have been extensively studied to identify the lifestyle and environmental factors that contribute to this phenomenon. It was found that people in these blue zones have similar lifestyles, characterized by a healthy environment and a healthy plant-based diet, an active lifestyle, and a less stressful life.
Indeed, we find meals that are rich in natural foods. These foods contain many nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants, which can help reduce the risk of disease. This more traditional lifestyle involving physical activities such as walking, dancing, gardening, and fishing helps to maintain an active lifestyle. Regular physical activity can help strengthen muscles, bones, and joints, as well as improve mental health and sleep quality. In fact, given the slower, quieter lifestyle and the emphasis on meditation or other spiritual practices, it helps to reduce stress, anxiety and calm the mind.

Why Costa Rica?
The five Blue Zones in the world are the Nicoya Valley in Costa Rica, Okinawa Island in Japan, the Ikaria Peninsula in Greece, the Sardinia region in Italy, and Loma Linda Island in California. Blue Zones are often located in areas with an energizing environment, such as mountains, islands, or rural areas, which offer cleaner air, cleaner water, and less pollution.
The Nicoya Peninsula region, located on the northwest coast of the country in Costa Rica is part of the blue zone, as it has been identified as having a high rate of centenarians and healthy elderly people. Researchers studied the lifestyle habits of Nicoya Peninsula residents and identified several factors that contribute to their longevity and health. Specifically, Nicoya Peninsula residents eat a healthy diet of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fish. They avoid foods that are processed and high in saturated fats. In addition, they are very physically active throughout the day, whether working in the fields, gardening, or walking or biking. It is also located in a rural and remote area, where the pace of life is slower, and the stress is lower.
