Blue Zone Practices

Our Commitment to Blue Zone Principles at Arrae Health

Across the globe, certain populations live significantly longer and healthier lives, sometimes well beyond 100 years of age. At Arrae Health, we are committed to helping our patients achieve healthier, longer lives through embracing the principles of Blue Zones. This philosophy inspires our approach to primary care, where we incorporate the proven lifestyle habits aligned with the “Power 9” principles found in Blue Zone communities.

What is a Blue Zone?

A Blue Zone is a region with very high life expectancy and low rates of chronic diseases compared to the global average. Dan Buettner coined this term, identifying five such regions: Okinawa-Japan, Sardinia-Italy, Nicoya Peninsula-Costa Rica, Ikaria-Greece, and Loma Linda-California-USA. These regions share common lifestyle habits such as a diet rich in vegetables and legumes, regular physical activity, strong social connections, and a sense of purpose. The concept emphasizes the importance of lifestyle and environment in promoting longevity and overall well-being.

The Power 9 Principles We Encourage Patients to Follow:

Move Naturally - Blue Zone Principles

Move Naturally

We encourage our patients to incorporate natural movement throughout their day. Regular, simple activities like walking, gardening, or taking the stairs are essential for maintaining long-term health.

Purpose - Blue Zone Principles

Purpose

Helping individuals find and maintain a sense of purpose is central to our approach. Studies show that those with a clear sense of purpose live longer and enjoy better health.

Stress Relief - Blue Zone Principles

Stress Relief

Managing stress is crucial for overall health. We provide resources for mindfulness, meditation, and other stress-relief techniques to help our patients maintain balance.

Plant-Based Dietary Practices

Plant-Based Dietary Practices

At Arrae Health, we advocate for a mostly plant-based diet, in line with the Blue Zones' dietary principles. This approach, which includes minimal animal products, supports sustainable weight loss and long-term health by following the "80% full" rule.

Moderate Alcohol Consumption

Moderate Alcohol Consumption

We advise moderate alcohol intake, such as enjoying a glass of wine with dinner.

Community Connection

Community Connection

Strong social networks and community involvement are vital for longevity. We encourage our patients to engage with their local communities and form meaningful connections.

Family First

Family First

We emphasize the importance of family, encouraging patients to prioritize their loved ones as a core part of their health journey.

Supportive Social Circles

Supportive Social Circles

Positive, supportive relationships have a significant impact on health. At Arrae Health, we foster such networks through our care and support systems.

Rest and Recovery

Rest and Recovery

Adequate sleep is essential for restorative care. We encourage our patients to listen to their bodies, ensure they get enough rest, and take naps when needed.
