Dan Buettner explores the world's six enigmatic 'Blue Zones', which are small regions celebrated for having a remarkable number of centenarians, with residents reportedly '10 times more likely to reach 100' than those in the United States on average. Loma Linda in California, Ikaria in Greece, Okinawa in Japan, Sardinia in Italy, Nicoya in Costa Rica, and the latest addition, Singapore, are all recognised as Blue Zones. In a recent Instagram post, Dan revealed that those residing in the zones do not attend the gym. He said: "Not one Blue Zone has a gym culture. They move naturally all day - gardening, walking, cooking by hand - instead of exercising in bursts".
