About this blog
We live in an aging world; there’s no doubt about that. Therefore, it’s necessary to consider the care that this aging population is receiving. With this blog, I hope to illuminate three main topics: how music positively impacts memories, specifically of seniors suffering from memory loss; how technology can benefit the aging population; and the impact of immigration on seniors’ well-being.
Blue Zones09/27/20I recently came across blue zones through, believe it or not, Netflix. I was watching Down to Earth with Zac Efron, and in an episode, he visited Sardinia, a blue zone. I remember hearing about blue zones before, but they didn’t pique my interest back then as they do now. Blue zones are basically regions of the world that are home to the oldest people. Dan Buettner is the founder of this concept and named five places in the world as blue zones: Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Ikaria, Greece; Loma Linda, California.
