Dan Buettner has found locations around the globe where people live longer and has provided steps to live a better life using information from those living longer (Blue Zones). His book The Blue Zones Challenge is a good starting point to re-evaluate and set goals for food, exercise and better life choices. We are fortunate in Fort Worth Texas where our previous mayor, Betsy Price, made a commitment to the Blue Zones way of living and installed bike lanes and suggested better nutritional information on local menus.
Note: Blue Zones is a name chosen simply because Dan Buettner had a blue pen in hand when he started circling the areas of longevity on a map!
One thing I struggle with is bread and while looking for a healthier recipe online, I came across a video which suggests that bread is addictive and studies using the drug to suppress heroin addiction (Nolaxone) also suppresses the desire for bread. Sadly, I think I will have to give it up cold-turkey. . . or at least for 30 days - see video below
