Living to be 100+: Dan Buettner “How to Live to be 100+” conveys three different blue zones Okinawa, Sardinia, and California and how people in those blue zones live to be one hundred.

Religious needs are met in various ways through my community, a mixture of the world's most know religions make up my surroundings. My boss practices Hinduism and has a specific room him and his family pray in everyday. This is very similar to the men and women in
