The Best Lifestyle Book For Healthy Skin

Diagram from Blue Zones showing similarities across cultures

There are many books out there that try to fix the immediate problem of aging and being healthy with topical fixes like cosmetic surgery, potions and lotions. What you really need to do is start with a healthy lifestyle as a foundation for everything you do in life. You will not only look better but feel better as well.

I can tell you of the program i started adopting 1 1/2 years ago. The recommendations are from the Blue Zones by Dan buettner.

Dan buetter's book tracks areas around the world he calls blue zones that have a much higher than average number of centenarians or people that live over 100. what he found is that there are a number of similarities between these various cultures spread around the world. there are similar habits in exercises amounts and foods that are eaten as well as other social habits.

Some actionable notes that I took from the book are below
