Move Naturally - The First Habit for a Blue Zone Lifestyle (Blog)

Have you heard of Blue Zones where people live longer, healthier lives?

According to National Geographic researcher Dan Buettner, these people have similar healthy habits coined Power 9™: move naturally, know your purpose, down shift, 80% rule, plant slant, wine at 5, family first, belong, right tribe.

Did you notice that we can fulfill all nine habits in a natural, non-toxic, inexpensive way?

I love the open-ended nature of this statement, which allows each of us to find a way to incorporate movement (i.e. exercise) in our lives in a way we will enjoy.

Some people look forward to time in a gym on a regular basis. I prefer walking and talking with a friend or dancing. My aching quads will tell you that a day of yard work will also work your muscles while you have fun.

What activity do you love that gives you exercise at the same time? Stay tuned next week for a look at number two – know your purpose.
