Blue Zone Living: Could It Be Coming to Fountain Hills?
Imagine living in a community where residents enjoy longer, healthier, and happier lives. This is the essence of Blue Zones—regions around the world identified for their high concentration of centenarians and overall well-being. But what makes these areas so special, and could Fountain Hills be the next Blue Zone?
What is Blue Zone Living?
Blue Zones are regions where people live significantly longer lives, often surpassing 100 years with vitality and minimal health issues. These areas, such as Okinawa in Japan, Sardinia in Italy, and Loma Linda in California, share common lifestyle characteristics that contribute to longevity. These include:
Fountain Hills: A Potential Blue Zone?
Fountain Hills already boasts several qualities that align with Blue Zone principles. Our community enjoys beautiful natural surroundings, numerous outdoor recreational opportunities, and a strong sense of community. With wonderful organic goods available at Good Living Greens, miles of hiking and biking trails, and a huge volunteer community where everyone can find a place to connect and belong, Fountain Hills has the foundation for Blue Zone living. However, becoming a recognized Blue Zone requires intentional efforts to enhance these qualities further.
Steps Towards Blue Zone Status:
Local Fountain Hills community members are working toward the certification and currently in Phase 1 of planning and assessment.
The Future of Blue Zone Living in Fountain Hills
With its existing strengths and a commitment to healthy living, Fountain Hills has the potential to embrace Blue Zone principles. By fostering a culture that prioritizes well-being, our community can enhance the quality of life for all residents, making Fountain Hills not just a place to live, but a place to thrive.
