Recent investigations have cast doubt on the validity of blue zones. These are parts of the world that have high concentrations of people living longer and healthier lives, like Okinawa, Japan, for example. Some critics are suggesting that factors like unreliable record keeping and potential age misreporting may undermine claims of exceptional longevity in these regions.
