episode Inside a Blue Zone - What I Learned in Sardinia | Dr Kiat cover

Description

In this episode, I take you inside one of the world’s Blue Zones - places where people live remarkably long, healthy, connected lives. I recently travelled to Sardinia, Italy myself, walked its steep stone lanes, cooked with local families, and experienced first-hand what longevity truly looks like in daily life.   Across five regions - Sardinia, Okinawa, Nicoya, Ikaria, and Loma Linda — people speak different languages and eat different foods, but they share nine simple habits known as The Power Nine. These aren’t biohacks or trends. They’re time-tested ways of living that keep the body strong and the heart connected.   In this long episode, I share what I saw, what I learned, and why longevity is less about adding years to your life - and more about adding life, joy, purpose, and connection to every year you live.   If you're curious about aging well, living with intention, and finding a healthier rhythm in your everyday life, this episode is for you.   0:00 - What a Blue Zone Really Means and Sardinia, Italy 1:55 - Okinawa, Japan: The Art of Purpose 3:10 - Nicoya, Costa Rica: The Reason to Rise 3:40 - Ikaria, Greece: Where Time Slows Down 3:59 - Loma Linda, California: Faith and Routine 4:29 - The Power Nine: Blueprint for a Long Life   Disclaimer: By accessing this channel, you agree to comply with the following terms.
