Diet Secrets of the Longest Living People in the World

It's hard to not get discouraged when you hear about the growing number of health complications in the United States, especially when things like heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and cancer are some of the leading causes of death and continue to affect more and more lives daily.
While genetics play a large role in some of these illnesses, you can't help but wonder about the real impact our daily diets have on our overall health and risk for disease.
For instance, the CDC states that high cholesterol, diabetes, unhealthy eating, being overweight, and heavy alcohol consumption are all risk factors for developing heart disease in the US. And it's no secret that the food and drinks we consume play a significant role in all of these risk factors.
Not all regions of the world experience this same magnitude of health complications, though. In fact, researchers have spent decades studying the healthiest people in the world in order to learn more about their health secrets.
From this research, the Blue Zones were established, which consist of five regions in the world where the highest concentrations of centenarians (people who live to be 100) reside. These regions include Okinawa in Japan, Loma Linda in California, Nicoya in Costa Rica, Ikaria in Greece, and Sardinia in Italy.
