Blue Zones: Building Healthier Communities

In this episode, Alan talks with Blue Zone Founder and National Geographic Fellow Dan Buettner about how environments — our roads, building, and towns — are designed so that the easiest choice is to be sedentary (to drive instead of bike or walk). Moving naturally throughout the day — walking, gardening, doing housework — is a core part of the Blue Zones lifestyle. Degree Deodorant and Blue Zones recently launched a #MadeToMove grant program that will provide half a million dollars in funding for city projects that promote increased physical movement. Community organizations and city officials can visit BlueZones.com to apply and access Degree and Blue Zones' #MadeToMove grant criteria and supporting documentation.
