#52 Blue Zones. Live Longer, Be Happier, and Optimize Your Environment w/ Tony Buettner

Dan Buettner, National Geographic Explorer, and his brother Tony join us on the podcast today.   "Nine to five is the new cancer," Tony tells me in this week's episode.   Hear that and other lessons from their quest to find the places where people live to be over 100 years of age, disease free, and happy.    Where are the happiest and healthiest places in the world, and what can we learn from them?    How can you optimize your environment, work place, office, place of worship, and community so you can live long and prosper?   Did you know that only 20% of longevity is about your genes while the other 80% of living long comes from environmental factors?     Listen in today to improve your quality of life and hear why eating a Mediterranean Diet full of olive oil, red wine, and fresh fruits and vegetables will reverse stress, and extend your lifespan because of newly discovered chemical compounds called "polyphenols."     We also discuss topics from one of the Buettner's latest books: Thrive: Finding Happiness the Blue Zones Way
