After you exercise you should eat wisely because you just burned fat you don’t want to regain it. I have learned that you should get outside and exercise daily to stay healthy, and live a longer life. Your diet and your health relays on your activity and your exercise. You will live longer if you are active than if you are not.

The blue zones are places were people stay active and stay healthy and eat good foods. Blue zone are places where there is no retirement and people stay active there whole life. Costa Ricans eat papaya, fruits, and vegetables. Also there tortillas are very high in calcium. And in Sardinia they have very healthy and popular wine. And in Okinawa they eat very healthy tofu that is low in fat and high in protein, calcium, also minerals.

Retirement doesn’t exist in these countries because; they have nothing else to do. A healthy and active life style helps people to live longer. Because when you are healthy and active your bones get stronger and they get fitter.

Learning about blue zones will help people who want to be healthy. Also if people want to have a healthy diet they can follow the blue zones diet.

Like chia berries, blue berries and all fruits and vegetables.

I think food planning is a good idea because if you don’t plan the food it’s probably fast food. I know this because fast food can be cooked easily and quickly without much preparation. Most of the time when people are on the road they can food plan and then eat fast food.
