"Two months later, I find myself regularly consulting my Blue Zones worksheets, as some major life changes are coming my way. I make sure to “move naturally” every day in the park.

Twenty-eight local restaurants added over 150 Blue Zones-inspired dishes to make healthier choices easier while dining out. Twenty-eight worksites took dedicated steps to implement best practices that improve employee engagement and well-being by becoming Blue Zones Project Approved™. Blue Zones Project purpose programs saw more than 1,280 individuals attend purpose workshops and residents generated over $250,000 for the community through more than 5,600 volunteer hours donated. Notable policy initiatives like the establishment of the Monterey County Food System Coalition are helping expand access to healthy foods, among other policy improvements and implementations."
