This is my post for #freewriters Friday prompt blue zone hosted by 
When I saw this prompt, my mind went to the saying, the white zone is for loading and unloading. I have never heard of the blue zone. I had to google it to find out the meaning but first I will tell you about the red zone which I also found while googling the blue zone. In football, the red zone is between the 20-yard line and the goal of the defensive team it is also·an obsolete term in rugby.
Now for the blue zone. I do not know what I expected the meaning to be but it was nothing like the one that I found. The blue zone are places in the world where people live a long time. There are common factors to the reason for their longevity in life.
One of the things that they have in common is that they do not exercise. They move naturally, by walking or doing chores. Another one is they eat mostly plant-based foods, very little meat. When they do eat meat, it has been raised feeding on grasses, not corn-based products. They stop eating before they get the full feeling.
They have a circle of friends that whom they can socialize and feel like they belong. They have a purpose as to why they get up every morning. Some do what they call downshift, some pray, some take a nap and others drink wine in moderation.
They put their family first. They keep their grandparents close to the family.
