Most of us strive to live long, happy, and healthy lives but unfortunately Dan Buettner stated that the “life expectancy in our country is only 78.” According to his research we have the capacity to live to about 90 years old, so how did we lose 12 years out of our life? Buettner attempts to answer this question with his presentation; but let us get one thing clear, our genetics only play a small role in this. The Danish Twin Study has already recognized that our genetics only have a 10 percent role
However, the southern Californian city differs from other U.S. cities due to its large population of Seventh-day Adventists. In fact, Loma Linda has the highest concentration of Adventists anywhere, causing a strict focus on health (Cornish). Buettner defines Seventh-day Adventists as “conservative Protestants who...evangelize with health and celebrate the Sabbath on Saturday instead of

The Baby Fae Case The issues surrounding the Baby Fae case raised some important questions concerning medical ethics. Questions were raised regarding human experimentation (especially experimentation in children), risk/benefit ratio, the quality of informed consent, and surrogate decision-making. Primarily, this case showed that new guidelines were needed to regulate radical procedures that offer little hope and high notoriety and recognition of the physician performing them. Dr. Bailey

The likeliness of fellow Virginian following the example of the Blue Zones depends on multiple complicated factors. As a society drenched in desire for immediate satisfaction and a need for constant work to fill in that satisfaction I find it unreasonable say adopting the habits of the Blue Zones that Dan Buettner describes is simple. This doesn’t mean it’s not impossible to be inspired by the Blue Zones residents. We could all strive for eating healthy and maintain healthier relationships within
A research performed by Loma Linda, California determined that Hispanic Americans hold several expectations of their healthcare providers and this include their nurses as well (Manfred, Mcfadden & Belliard, 2006). One of the major difference between the Hispanic outlooks of health is,
was the day my mom birthed me. I was born in Loma Linda, California, and had lived in a couple towns in that state. I think it was because my sister had been getting suspended at the schools she had gone to. Now that I think about it, we weren’t moving around in just California but pretty much anywhere along the south boarder of the United States. You name any place and I’ve probably lived or visit there once. After spending two years in California, we headed to Las Vegas, Nevada. I remember when
India is full of inspiration for the lateral-minded. While poverty and lack of basic healthcare in and around my hometown, Mumbai, saddened me at one level, it also gave me ideas about what can be done to change the situation. And so, I grew up dreaming I would some day change healthcare and help those in need of medical attention. As the first step towards fulfilling this dream, I completed my undergrad in Physical Therapy from Sancheti College Institute of Physiotherapy, Pune. Four years as a physical

As of the release date of the TEDTalk that this paper is based around, three “Blue zones” have been found. The “Blue zone” locations are: Sardinia, a small island off the coast of Italy, Okinawa, a series of islands south of Tokyo, and in Loma Linda, California. But what must we do to be a part of these “Blue zones” or live to be over 100-years-old? Buettner (2011) states that
How long do you think you will live on this earth? Most of us will pause and think before answering the question. Think about our health, our family health history, and how long our grandparents lived or are living. The average American male lives to be seventy years old and the average female will live to be eighty years old. In twenty-first century, most American have knowledge, technology, a great health care system and clean water. Why isn’t a modern country like America on the top of the “Blue
How many people read the ingredients on packaged food before they consume it? According to a study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, only about fifty percent of Americans do. Everywhere people turn in their society today, they are surrounded by processed and unhealthy food. “We're filling up on the wrong things—consuming, for example, nearly triple the recommended limit of solid fats and added sugars while getting only fifteen percent of the whole grains and fifty-nine
Dan Buettner’s “How to live to be 100+” TED talk highlights the extraordinary event of longevity. Longevity is a term for a long lived life, and this is what Buettner refers.

He emphasizes the importance of eating healthy, and gives examples of how a near perfect diet helps people to achieve longevity. He uses known Blue Zones
Nutrition is a very controversial and confusing topic. One day coffee is bad for you, but the next day it is good. Alcohol is detrimental for our health one day, but the next day red wine is the elixir of life. There are dozens of diet plans and they promise a leaner and healthier body. There is the 3-Hour Diet that involves constantly eating small portions of anything we want to eat. The latest diet craze, the Paleo Diet, is based upon eating foods that our “hunter-gatherer ancestors” would have
Humour as tool of intervention Laughter Therapy Laughter therapy started in the 1970s and is a non-invasive, complementary and alternative therapy (Cousins,1976) Laughter therapy, which uses humour to improve quality of life, decrease pain, reduce stress and has become a therapy trend according to recent studies (Weiss,2002;Balick&Lee,2003;Bennett,Zeller,Rosenberg,&McCann.2003 MacDonald,2004;) The merits of this therapy are that it is easy to recommend and does not cause contrary effects with
