Across the world, extensive research on longevity has revealed that certain populations live longer, healthier, and more fulfilled lives. These regions, known as “Blue Zones,” demonstrate that lifestyle—not genetics alone—is the key driver of long life.

Among these, Loma Linda stands out as a unique case. Unlike other Blue Zones that developed naturally over centuries, Loma Linda is a man-made Blue Zone. Its residents, particularly the Seventh-day Adventist community, intentionally practice a set of lifestyle principles that promote long life and vibrant health. These principles are widely known as the NEWSTART lifestyle.

While other Blue Zones rely on inherited culture and environment, Loma Linda proves that longevity can be created intentionally through disciplined lifestyle choices.
