editI can't do this whole thing on my own. Any chance you could help? Christian Traveler (talk) 02:45, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hey I really like this idea for an article. And you've made a good start. I have a busy week this week, but I'll see what I can do to help. Brycehughes (talk) 02:51, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- I think it will need a bit of focus... what sorts of travel experiences are unique to Blue Zones? What kind of advice can we give outside of just listing Blue Zones? Brycehughes (talk) 02:59, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- I don't have much expertise about this topic, but I recall that people in some part of the Caucasus reputedly ate yogurt and lived a long time. Yeah, not much expertise, though I knew about Okinawa. :-) Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- Bryce, one thing is to enjoy the local cuisine. The Okinawan traditional diet is very healthful, partly because they eat several kinds of seaweed and lots of it. Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:09, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah for sure. Will add. Brycehughes (talk) 12:17, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- Would Hong Kong also count? --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 07:08, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- It's interesting... there are official "blue zones" that are based on the original study, or at least its spirit, but then how much of that is just marketing by this "Blue Zone LLC" company I'm not sure. I'd hate for this article to be an advertisement for that company, but then also I have met several people who have either expressed a desire to travel to blue zones or have talked about visiting blue zones, so I guess it's a thing. I think we could also add "potential blue zones" or similar... e.g. Hong Kong. In a way this is sort of a health tourism article. Christian Traveler if you have any input let me know.
