BLU ZN CALIFORNIA

In Loma Linda, California, the Seventh-Day Adventist population is one of the few blue zones in the United States, with studies showing that typical life expectancy is seven or eight years longer than in other parts of California; Adventists are often vegetarian or consume meat only rarely, but consume a nutrient-rich plant-based diet incorporating fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts of different types. 10 They also incorporate a weekly break during the Sabbath on weekends when they spend time with family and friends and focus on rest and rejuvenation.
