Curiously, just today I was researching the public health efforts in the Finnish town of North Karelia which is known in public health as a place that started reducing heart attacks beginning in the early 1970's and saw an article referencing Blue Zones.
The Blue Zones Solution: Eating and Living Like the World's Healthiest People

From the first Amazon review of the book, written by a woman:
"I first ran into my own "Blue Zone" when I hiked up a mountain near Zermatt, Switzerland to a village that was only accessible by hiking or cable car. A 102-year old woman dashed past me, UPHILL ON ICE, in felt boots, while I was (in my 40's) trying to struggle up the incline with the assistance of two ski poles. Later, I found her, running the local inn and making strudel, which was the most delicious I've ever had. She was making the strudel that day, because her OLDER sister was taking a nap."
