adventists in the limelight

Oprah, April 7, 2009: The Oprah Winfrey Show* Ageless Living with Dr. Oz: Secrets of the Blue Zone   Read transcript

The back story of The Blue Zones featured in National Geographic 2005: "In Loma Linda, California, researchers studied a group of Seventh-day Adventists who rank among America's longevity all-stars. Residents of these three places produce a high rate of centenarians, suffer a fraction of the diseases that commonly kill people in other parts of the developed world, and enjoy more healthy years of life. In sum, they offer three sets of 'best practices' to emulate. The rest is up to you."

*Oprah viewers are estimated at 14 million daily in the U.S.
