Health Harmony & Heather with Heather Thomson

Dan Buettner, National Geographic Explorer, writer, and founder of Blue Zones: areas where people live long, healthy, happy lives. Blue Zones are areas across the globe where people tend to live the longest and have remarkably low rates of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. Dan explores what elements make up these blue zones, including food, community, joy, purpose, and more. Listen to Dan and Heather talk about the 5 food groups that are best for a long life, and the perfect combination of a grain and beans to make a complete protein. He has appeared on CNN, Late Show with David Letterman, Good Morning America, Primetime Live, and the Today show to discuss his Blue Zones research, and he has delivered more than 500 keynote speeches over the last 10 years.

Dan’s new book is The Blue Zones American Kitchen: 100 Recipes to Live to 100
