Life In The Blue Zone

Today, the average life expectancy of an American is 76.4 years, and in 2023 over 70,000 Americans reached their 100th birthday. But in the Blue Zones, or regions of the world where people live exceptionally long lives, individuals are ten times more likely to live to 100.

But when kids come home after dance class and lay in bed and stare at their phone they don't understand that the dance class just wasn't enough.
