Dan Buettner in his book, "Blue Zone' identifies Okinawa, California, Sardinia and Nicoya Peninsula (Costa Rica) as areas where people live longest and well.

Well it is an interesting fact and to what this longevity is attributed to.It is the climate or food habits or is it in the genes of people over there??
