7 Morning Habits That Can Help You Live To Be 100

The morning sets the tone for the entire rest of the day, so if you want to create longevity-supporting habits, it’s the best place to start. There’s no one better to serve as inspiration than people who live in Blue Zones, five places in the world where people regularly live to be over 100 in good health.

The credit to identifying these regions goes to journalist Dan Buettner and he’s devoted his career to spreading the longevity gospel, sharing the common habits these spread out regions share so more people can live longer, healthier lives. Buettner has spent a wealth of time in these regions and he’s seen first-hand the ways their everyday habits differ from what’s common in the U.S—starting with how they spend their mornings. Here, Buettner shares seven morning habits to adopt, directly inspired by people in Blue Zones.
