Promoting the 7 Blue Zone principles of healthy lifestyle

Living Blue Zone is a non-profit organization founded by Professor Michel Poulain, initiator of the concept of Blue Zone. Our approach is inspired by those regions of the world where people live longer, healthier lives in harmony with their environment.

About Pr. Michel Poulain

Demographer, world explorer, initiator of the concept of Blue Zone, and promotor of a healthy lifestyle.

His career, both scientific and deeply human, embodies the alliance between rigor and intuition, curiosity and wisdom. A demographer by training, he has devoted his life to exploring what it means to “age well”, meeting with people who live longer, healthier lives in all corners of the world.

It was through his research on centenarians that he identified the population of Sardinia, Okinawa, Nicoya, Ikaria and more recently Martinique, as a Blue Zone with exceptional longevity.
