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

You know, most people in the Booza, and this is just an anecdotal, but it comes from interviewing 500 or so hundred-year-olds, grumpy people don't make it.

Is that true?

I mean, there's a handful of them, but for the most part, the people are making it to 100.

They're interesting.

They're interested.

They attract people to them.

They enjoy telling their stories.

They're generous.

I remember I met this 108-year-old woman named Panchita, also in Costa Rica.

They're descended from the Chorotega indigenous people.

and she still cooks on something called a fogon which is this giant adobe kind of oven stove type thing and uh you know we we had cameras and we asked her if she'd cook her dinner so we so we get some context and she patted tortillas and and uh cooked up her beans and she had chased down a chicken and got an egg and put an egg and it made this beautiful meal and then put it down and this woman is stick thin

I say, well, can we watch you eat it?

And she goes, no, that's for you.

And we, no, no, no, we're not going to eat your food.

And absolutely iron resolve.

You eat that.

So it was just generosity.

This woman doesn't have much.

By the way, we made sure she got a big, huge gift she wasn't expecting, so it wasn't like we're taking the food out of her mouth.

But it was just that act of generosity that gives you insight to the bigger ecosystem of the Blue Zone.
