Beans, beans, they are good for your heart and a whole lot more!
Eating a cup of beans per day can add an extra four years to your life. That is according to Dan Buettner, a National Geographic Fellow and New York Times bestselling author, who has spent over a decade studying the places around the globe. Buettner discovered the five places in the world—dubbed “Blue Zones”—where people live the longest, healthiest lives. His articles about these places in the New York Times Magazine and National Geographic are two of the most popular for both publications.
Buettner now works in partnership with municipal governments, large employers, and health insurance companies to implement Blue Zones Projects in communities, workplaces, and universities. Blue Zones Projects are well-being initiatives that apply lessons from the Blue Zones to entire communities by focusing on changes to the local environment, public policy, and social networks. The program has dramatically improved the health of more than 5 million Americans to date.
