Dan Buettner

put the paper together, it felt very disjointed and I didn’t know how to make it better. Admittedly, I should have asked for help sooner and much more than I did, instead of just struggling on my own and not getting very far. In the end, I managed to finish it, though I don’t think I did the best job that I could have done because at that point I was so stressed out about it that I just wanted it done. If I ever have to do that kind of paper again I will certainly pick a topic that is easier to focus and I will probably work with someone in the writing center to help me make sure that I am on the right track from the beginning. The next paper was the Buettner Assessment Paper, in which I was tasked with identifying how likely it was that Virginia could adopt the habits of the people in the Blue Zones that Dan Buettner talks about in his Tedtalk video. I found this paper to be the easiest and most enjoyable assignment out of all of them. Learning from my mistakes with the literary analysis, I worked very hard at creating my thesis statement and my conclusion and I think I did well. It felt very easy and natural to embed quotes and describe how they backed up my own statements about whether Virginia could adopt these habits. I was very pleased with the outcome of my paper. I also enjoyed doing the final assignment, which was a reflection on the group presentation that we did a few weeks ago. My group chose to speak about ways to improve police and public relations…

Animals have to go through evolution to survive just as humans have to adapt living habits to live longer. The National Geographic writer Dan Buettner did a Ted Talk on “how to live to be 100+”in this video Mr. Buettner introduces Blue Zones which are parts of the world where older people are living longer. In Burttner’s research the Blue Zone communities have eight common characteristics that help people to live to be 100 or longer. These eight characteristic are a plant- base diet, moving…

The other day, I saw a news article about a ninety year old lady who was still dancing despite her age. She hardly looked or acted her age and was clearly on her way to fulfilling National Geographic journalist Dan Buettner’s task of living to be over one hundred which he investigates in his speech “How to Live to be 100+”. In his speech, Buettner delves into what exactly extends life by looking into so called Blue Zones or “ areas where people are living to age one hundred at rates up to ten…

In the video, “How to Live 100+,” Dan Buettner claims to have found a formula for longevity. He teamed up with National Geographic and the National Institute on Aging to find areas where people were living longer than the national average. These places are called Blue Zones and are located all around the world. People are living such long lives in these Blue Zones because they have made simple lifestyle changes. In America, the odds of someone living to be 100 years old are very slim because…

Longevity in the year 2017 The argument created by Dan Buettner in his TED Talk for “How to live to be 100+,” is that longevity is possible for anyone who has good genetics and a healthy life style. More specifically, Dan Buettner (2009) argues that ten percent of longevity forms from genetics and the other ninety percent is effected by our life styles. He collects this information from teaming up with National Geographic, and the National Institution on Aging in which they travel the worlds…

During his Tedtalk lecture,” How to Live to be 100+,” Dan Buettner discusses ways that people can increase their life expectancy. He references something called the Danish Twin Study and says that roughly 10% of a person’s longevity is dictated by their genes, whereas the other 90% is dictated by our lifestyle (Buettner par. 1). There is so much conflicting advice and data on what people can do to make themselves live longer that most Americans really have no idea what it is that they should be…

According to “How to live to be 100+” video, all these people live in Blue Zone. They also have nine common diet and lifestyles habits that make them live longer.

They do drink a little bit of wine every day, eat a plant-based diet, and they have strategies that to keep them from overeating. Most…

If I had the choice to attain an online education while living anywhere in the world I would choose to live in a blue zone www.bluzones.com/about-blue-zones. There are (5) blue zones in the world and they are: The Italian Island of Sardinia; Okinawa ,Japan; Loma Linda, California; Costa Rica's isolated peninsula; Icaria, and isolated Greek island. I choose the blue zone because civilization is supposedly less stressful, people have healthy diets, and have strong family and social ties in the…

One thing that we all have in common is that no one wants to die. There is research and studies going on to figure out a way or some type of medication that will help to slow the aging process down, but until then, author Dan Buettner gives advice on how we could live to be centenarians. Dan Buettner identified the four places on the globe where people tend to live the longest and calls them the “blue zones”.
