About the Blue Zones Community

OUR COMMUNITY

The Blue Zones community is the best place online to track, improve and discuss your healthy lifestyle. Based on scientific research and the principles common to the longest-living cultures in the world (those people in what we call the "Blue Zones"), this community is a place for you to learn about daily, practical tips that help achieve your goal of living longer, better.

WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED

So far, we've created a dynamic blog organized in four categories (Outlook, Move, Eat, Belong); we'll be updating the blog several times daily with tips, recipes, research, links and even videos from our interactive expeditions.

Before long, we'll be opening up the BlueZones community to you! You'll be able to share your own tips and experiences, ask questions, and most importantly, track and improve your own health using our Vitality Compass (tm).

Be sure to check back often to see what's new at the Blue Zones Community.

 

EXPLORE. QUESTION. ACT.

Blue Zones™ is an ongoing project that is part of Quest Network, Inc. funded by the National Institute on Aging and National Geographic. Blue Zones studies the world’s longest-lived populations around the world for information and lifestyle characteristics that can help people live longer, better lives.

Quest Network, Inc. creates interactive expeditions for audiences to explore the world around them, question what they find, then act to affect change. Through exploration, we provide cultural, environmental, and historical knowledge to empower our audiences.

Our expeditions are accompanied by educational programs designed to challenge and generate curiosity within the minds of students. Through an interactive environment, students direct our efforts and their learning. We also provide teachers with free curricula that cultivate collaboration, problem-solving, critical thinking and communication skills, while meeting state and national standards.

Quest Network, Inc. was founded by explorer and National Geographic writer Dan Buettner, who has produced more than a dozen interactive expeditions. Previous Quests have generated over two billion media impressions and garnered an online educational audience of 12 million students in 80,000 classrooms.
