Five countries where people live the longest

Loma Linda, California
We’re increasingly finding that these zones are not so much places but, rather, lifestyles. In Loma Linda, the Blue Zone lifestyle belongs to the members of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, who are the longest-lived Americans. They take their diet from the Bible, which, again, is plant-based (i.e., all plants that bear seeds and all trees that bear fruit), and typically vegetarian. The Adventists tend to hang out with other Adventists, and health is a core value for them—they don’t tend to smoke or drink, and they value religion and relationships.
