And for the last 15 or so years, I started a company that now has 300 employees.
And we get hired by insurance companies to go into entire cities and change the environment to set people up
to do the things that you write about in your book that we know lowers your chances of getting the diseases that we can avoid that foreshorten our lives.
Uh, okay.
Both.
So when I came up with the worldwide idea of blue zones, there was no standard.
Um, right now, uh, jail Shansky and a team of, of demographers are, uh, are, are, um, for the first time ever really, uh, coming up with an international, um, uh,
metric for the threshold of blue zone.
It turns out the blue zones were all, you know, what, what I said they were.
Um, but, uh, the Adventist is different and, and, and you're right at pointing that out.
The, um, all the other blue zones are geographically defined and the seventh day Adventists are more kind of a sub culture.
And I relied on,
on the Adventist health study that was comparing these Adventists, the Adventists as a people to average Americans.
And they, and they, uh, were by that metric, the longest lived Americans, but it's a slightly different standard than the other four blue zones.
So, you know, it depends on what you want to split hairs.
Is it the same standard?
No.
Do they live measurably longer?
Yes.
And at the time, I was using the best available data.
