This isn't your average business podcast and he's not your average host.

This is the James Alteter Show on the Stansbury Radio Network.

So I'm here with Dan butiner and you might not have heard his name but I'm going to tell

you right now this guy just ruined my life and Dan welcome to the show I'm going to describe

you who you are in a second but welcome to the show.

Well I'm going to be here and I'm interested to hear how I've already ruined your life.

Yeah so Dan you have a book coming out depending on when this podcast comes out I think your

book's coming out today and it's I know it's called The Blue Zones what's the full title?

What's the Blue Zones solution eating and living like the world's healthiest people.

And describe what a Blue Zones is because I think this is fascinating.

It's part of a 10-year project by National Geographic that sought to identify pockets around the world,

demographically confirmed, geographically defined where people live the longest.

And not just live the longest but I get from all your talks and everything.

It's people who live to be past the age of 100.

Well there's actually three measurements.

One is percentage of centenarians.

The second one is life expectancy and the third is something called lowest rate of middle age

for mortality. In other words they hit about an age 90 at the highest rate of chronic disease.

Okay so it's not like when you mentioned to people like when I mentioned to people oh would

you like to live to be a hundred. A lot of people say no because I don't want to have dementia or

I don't want to be sick but you're specifically identifying areas where people live to a very high

age without having necessarily disability. That's right they stay sharp to the very end.
