You may have heard of the Blue Zones—five areas in the world (including Loma Linda, CA) where people are living up to or into their hundreds. Not only is longevity the norm, but these folks are enjoying healthy, active lifestyles into old age, with minimal diseases or health problems. Meanwhile, 6 in 10 Americans have a chronic disease like diabetes, obesity, or high blood pressure, and 4 of 10 Americans have at least two chronic diseases. As we have seen throughout the pandemic, people with chronic disease are more likely to experience dangerous symptoms if infected with COVID-19. There is good news, though! Studies of the Blue Zones have identified trends and patterns that optimize health and longevity. The practice of lifestyle medicine uses powerful, evidence-based approaches to help patients adopt lifestyle changes that can prevent, treat, and oftentimes reverse chronic disease. As a primary care physician and CEO of Lifestyle Medical in Redlands and Riverside, Dr. Wayne Dysinger works with patients to adopt foundational habits that enhance health and well-being, increase happiness, and cultivate a life well lived.
