Episode 104: Let's Talk About Blue Zones, and Factors That Lead to Longevity While On the Earth!

 Psalm 139:16 says, "All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." God has ordained our days. He knows the number of our days. But the question is, and the thing that we'll discuss today on this episode is this: Do you believe that you and I have anything to do with that number of days that God has already in place for us? How we live our lives, how we take care of our bodies, how we interact with our fellow man, all have a tremendous impact on our health and vitality - and in turn, the number of days we are allowed to live on this earth before we (hopefully) meet our Creator in heaven!Here's a bit of what you'll hear in today's episode:-Meet a very special woman who lived to the ripe old age of 114!...02:30-Let's talk about Blue Zones and why people in those regions tend to live longer...06:40-Okinawan secrets to longevity...10:40Community healthPurpose (Ikigai)Plant-based dietLots of sun and Vitamin DLots of physical activityAnti-inflammatory foodsPositive outlook on life-Do you believe you have a role in the number of your days?...19:50-And much more!Resources mentioned:About Blue ZonesBlue Zones by Dan BuettnerVisibly Fit episode on Vitamin DVisibly Fit episode on reducing stress levelsP.S.
