you'll sleep better, especially in the morning.

We've all heard about getting rid of electronics in our bedrooms, but very few people understand that 68 degrees, right around there is the ideal temperature for sleeping.

So once again, setting up our bedroom, setting up the environment, not trying to set a habit because we're gonna forget,

or other crap's going to get in the way.

We can set up our kitchens and our bedroom one time to favor better eating and better sleep.

I wrote a book called The Blue Zones Challenge.

You can get it on Amazon.

It incorporates 30 different evidence-based ways for you to blue zone your home, your social network, your workplace, and your commute.

So you set it up once, and longevity ensues.

It doesn't matter really how I feel.

What I've done with National Geographic is found the five areas where people live the longest.

And then in my current book, The Blue Zone's One Pot Meal, you'll see in the introduction, I cite a meta-analysis we did.

If you want to know how to eat to be 100, you have to know what a 100-year-old ate their entire life.

You can't just ask them what they're eating lately.

You have to know what she was eating as a little girl.

and a young adult and middle age and lately.

So to get at that, we aggregated or found 155 dietary surveys done in all five blue zones over the past 100 years.

So we know what people were eating in the 30s and the 50s and the 70s, et cetera.

And when you average that out, which we did with Harvard, we found that about 90% of all the calories they consume come from plant-based sources.

So the five pillars of every longevity diet in the world are whole grains, corn, wheat, and rice, greens and garden vegetables, tubers like sweet potatoes.
