Dan Buettner's The Blue Zones

National Geographic reporter and author of The Blue Zone, Dan Buettner highlighted just a few locations on the globe where people tend to live longer, and Loma Linda, California is the only locale in the United States.

The prominent Seventh-day Adventist population in Loma Linda makes the area a "blue zone" where, on average, people live years longer than other Californians. A major factor is that many Adventists do not smoke, eat meat, exercise regularly, and fellowship with others in their church congregations.
