So the other four fifth has to be something other than habits.
And my conclusion was that it was their environment.
They live in environments that engineer their micro decisions on what they eat, how they move, how they socialize on a day-to-day basis.
for years or decades.
And the value proposition of the right environment is about 10 extra years and being biologically younger every decade by about 10 years.
So it's a big deal when people turn 40 and they get their first wrinkle, the Blue Zone solution offers you a way to be biologically a decade younger going forward.
I'm solving a mystery.
So imagine you have this piece of data that shows you that these five areas are producing populations that are making it to 100 at 10 times the rate of, say, United States.
Well, how do they do that?
And how do you go about finding out how you do that?
Well, to start out with, I landed these countries and I talked to the experts.
I talked to the anthropologists, the historians, the geneticists, the dietary people, and I start putting puzzle pieces together and I share that with my audience, gradually getting insights.
And then at a certain point, I have what I call the cake recipe.
I have all the ingredients that explain longevity in these places.
And then once I know that, I go out and I find characters, usually 100-year-olds.
And you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find the prince or the princess.
But I want to find people whose life illustrates my cake recipe of ingredients.
And then by telling their story, I essentially reveal the cake recipe.
So it's story-driven science.
It unfolds little by little.
