Now in paperback, this New York Times bestseller provides a proven plan to maximize your health based on the practices of the world's healthiest people. With Blue Zones City Makeovers dramatically impacting the health of millions of Americans, this is a book for anyone who wants to create their own personal Blue Zone.

With the audacious belief that the lifestyles of the world's Blue Zones could be adapted and replicated in towns across North America, Buettner launched the largest preventive healthcare project in the United States--The Blue Zones City Makeovers. In these pages, readers can be inspired by the specific stories of the people, foods, and routines of our healthy elders; understand the role community, family, and naturally healthy habits can play to improve our diet and health; and learn the exact foods--including the 50 superfoods of longevity and dozens of recipes adapted for Western tastes and markets--that offer delicious ways to eat your way to optimum health.
