壹蘋派生活美語　藍色慢活區教你長壽的祕訣（一）

　　Today, many people are interested in the lifestyle of those who live in Blue Zones to pursue long and healthy lives. For the most part, Blue Zones are areas where people tend to live longer than average. This term was first introduced by a National Geographic Explorer named Dan Buettner. While exploring various regions around the world, he and his team discovered that people in certain places had higher longevity. These people also enjoyed a better quality of life in their elderly years.
