Gerontologist and Bexley resident Daniel Seltzer will discuss the Blue Zones, the places in the world with the healthiest, longest-living populations, and their habits that help with longevity.
Join us for an enlightening presentation as we delve into the fascinating concept of Blue Zones, regions around the world where people live considerably longer and healthier lives compared to the global average. In this session, we will explore the key characteristics and lifestyle habits that contribute to the exceptional longevity observed in these areas.
