If there was ever a food trend to be made into a game, it could be Blue Zones-themed. The concept of Blue Zones, first coined in 2004, refers to a study of areas that have higher numbers of people that live longer, and healthier, lives. Each location has its own set of daily habits, lifestyle choices, dietary patterns, which together form an informal blueprint for longevity. Over time, these habits have become a guide for those looking to improve their health – or maybe even extend their lifespan. For the competitive type, the game might be called “Who Can Be the Healthiest?” For the health-curious, Blue Zones-inspired dishes could simply add a new dimension to their diet. Look for the veg-forward, low-carb options flagged on menus.
