Live longer, better
Blue Zones Project® encourages changes in our community that lead to healthier options. When our entire community participates—from our worksites and schools to our restaurants and grocery stores—the small changes contribute to huge benefits for all of us: lowered healthcare costs, improved productivity, and ultimately, a higher quality of life.
It Only Takes
Blue Zones Project Lake County is here to support you on your well-being journey. Improving personal health and the health of our community doesn’t have to be a challenge. Small adjustments made to daily habits and positive shifts to our physical environment can lead to significant improvements in our health longterm. Join us as we focus this quarter on the power of having a Right Outlook. Read on to learn how living with a greater sense of purpose and taking time to manage daily stress can add more “good” years to your life.
It Only Takes
Slowing Down
People in Blue Zones naturally incorporate regular practices to relax and reduce tension, whether through prayer, napping, spending time in nature, or simply taking breaks from work. Slowing down helps to lower stress hormones, allowing our bodies to recover and our minds to refocus. By intentionally pausing, we make space for reflection, gratitude, and deeper connections, which fosters a calmer, healthier outlook and supports overall well-being.
It Only Takes
Sharing your Gifts
In Blue Zones, where people live the longest and healthiest lives, having a sense of purpose—knowing your “why”—is a key component of well-being. When we share our talents and abilities, we connect with this sense of purpose, contributing to others and feeling that our lives have meaning. This act also fosters a positive outlook, encouraging gratitude, fulfillment, and connection with others. By focusing on sharing what we can give, we align our lives with values that promote resilience, happiness, and longevity.
It Only Takes
A few minutes of calm
In Blue Zones, people often take regular moments to pause—whether through quiet reflection, prayer, or breathing exercises. This habit helps to reduce stress and allows the body to reset, keeping stress-related health issues at bay. These moments of calm create space for mindfulness, which helps people face challenges with a clearer mind and more balanced emotions, ultimately supporting a longer, healthier life.
Organizations
We develop deep relationships with a broad array of organizations in a community to help make healthy choices become easy choices in all of the places where people live, work, learn, and play.
Get your organization involved
Connect your worksite, school, restaurant, grocery store, faith-based, or other organization to the community and elevate its well-being. Where we choose to live, work, learn, and play all influence the lifestyle choices we make. Blue Zones Project programs are designed to inspire, encourage, and promote well-being within your organization so your employees, members, and customers are more socially connected and equipped to positively impact one another and the entire community.
