ZOE Science & Nutrition · 5 daily habits of people who live longer | Dan Buettner · 15 Jan 2026 podcast

It drops to about six years for a 60-year-old.

But even an 80-year-old could get an extra three years and...

Those are valuable years where you're likely to be more free of a chronic disease and feel good and feel better.

So it's one thing to know that.

How do you get people to do it?

So I'm particularly interested in harnessing the wisdom of deliciousness and putting it to work.

And part of my first books, The Blue Zone Kitchen, my photographer from National Geographic and I went back to all the blue zones and we sat on a stool and we watched old ladies, grandmas cook and make this fantastically delicious food, these pies made out of beans and these wonderful stews and soups.

And what we were capturing there is sometimes 500 years of observed wisdom.

These people like to eat delicious food just like we do, but they had very limited ingredients, greens and beans and tubers, et cetera.

So I got to capture a half a millennium of culinary trial and error in these recipes.

And I put in the book, Blue Zone Kitchen was a number one New York Times bestseller, number one Wall Street Journal bestseller.

because we focused on deliciousness, not on hammering people over the head, this is going to help you live longer or it avoids cruelty or it's good for the carbon footprint.

I don't think people really give a crap about that for the most part when it actually comes to what they're going to eat for lunch.

I love that.

So much of longevity are these hacks, these quick fixes.

And when you think about a plasma exchange or stem cells in my joints or ozempic injection in my gut, that's not a very enjoyable way to

to live to 100.

The way I like to think is an Italian grandfather, you know, who gets up and has breakfast with his friends and a cup of coffee and then maybe spend a little time in his garden, lunch, he's back with his friends, a big long lunch that takes three hours, comes home, takes a nap, has a glass of wine at five, another beautiful dinner over the sunset.

And these guys, by the way, are living a dozen years longer than us living in the UK and the United States on average.

So what routine are you going to pick?
