26 Sep 2013: Blue Zones and Longevity

For September, we're excited to have John and Jane Day lead a discussion about blue zones -- areas of the world where people live measurably longer lives. John and Jane took their nine-year-old son Joshua and journeyed to one of these blue zones in a remote region of China and interviewed centenarians and Chinese health-seekers who travel there to be healed.  They spent nearly two years researching the question:  How do the centenarians in China's Longevity Village manage to avoid the myriad of diseases from which millions of Americans are suffering? Some readings to prepare for the discussion are below.  Date: Thursday, September 26, 2013 Time: 7:30-9:30 Place: Mark and Elizabeth's home, 1194 South 500 East, SLC ****************************** John and I grappled with which readings might be most interesting for the group.  We decided to share summaries of books that have inspired us. If anyone is looking for a good read, we recommend  Blue Zones
