The Blue Zones diet is awesome – except for one unfortunate flaw
Find out if a plant-based diet, daily activity, and community involvement can help you achieve a longer, healthier life
Driving might be the only activity on the planet that the more you practice it, the worse you get. Weird, right? Pass your P-plate test and, in the months that follow, you’re a shining example of considerate driving, dutifully checking your mirrors, keeping your hands at “10-and-2” and staying glued to the prescribed speed limit.
But as the years pass, we get sloppy. Lazy, even. Suddenly our “10-and-2” becomes a single hand – or even a single finger – mounted at 12 o’clock exactly. Our mirrors become mere fashion accessories, and posted speed limits more of a guide than a hard and fast rule.
