What Can We Learn from Centenarians?
Author Dan Buettner, in partnership with National Geographic, studied regions of the world where people regularly live to 100 — known as the Blue Zones. These include parts of Italy, Greece, Costa Rica, Japan, and California. The common lifestyle factors include natural daily movement, a strong sense of purpose (ikigai), simple stress relief rituals, mostly plant based eating (and stopping at 80% full), deep family ties and social circles, and connections to faith or community. These practical lessons demonstrate how lifestyle choices can have a significant impact on aging. At Brandermill Woods, these simple Blue Zone principles come to life every day through connections, purpose and active living.

Did you know your brain continues to rewire itself throughout life — with a key shift around age 66? New research from the University of Cambridge identified key “turning points” at ages 9, 32, 66, and 83, marking distinct phases where the human rewires to support different ways of thinking over the average human lifespan. Dr. Alexa Mousley, who led the research, says, “We know the brain’s wiring is crucial to our development, but we lack a big picture of how it changes across our lives and why. What this means for the big picture and cognition as we age is still a mystery.” While scientists continue to question and find answers, we can choose to support brain health with small daily habits. This looks different for everyone, but it might include exercising your mind and body, eating a brain healthy diet, staying social, prioritizing sleep and managing stress. Check out the social calendar to see how you can participate in. more daily activities that support your brain health!
