They have little furniture in their homes and are active maintaining their gardens. This means that their non-sedentary lifestyles help keep their lower backs strong. When they fall, their bones are thus less susceptible to be damaged

I thought the blue zones thesis was found to be lacking since it has high correlation with either poor historical records or is in areas with high pension fraud levels?

What surprises me is how they manage to live so long, despite the copious amounts of drinking and smoking. Haha. Must be their diet

I recall reading that they have high rates of cancer starts, from the smoking, but their diets more than offset that in reducing growth rates.

Blue Zones was great! Pathetic when Loma Linda in CA was the only USA example and they just live to late 80’s. Sad!
