The healthiest people on Earth all do one thing differently.

Blue Zone researchers found every centenarian follows their body’s natural energy rhythm.

It’s how they stay sharp, active, and thriving at 100+.

Here’s how you can do it too: Image
Image
They don't push through fatigue or work non-stop for hours.

Instead, centenarians naturally align with their body's 90-120 minute energy cycles.

Working when alert, resting when tired.

While most people override these signals, they honor them. Image
Your body operates in 90-120 minute cycles called 'ultradian rhythms.'

Sleep researcher Nathaniel Kleitman discovered these cycles control:

- Hormone release
- Alertness levels
- Focus capacity
- Cellular repair

Every 90 minutes, your body naturally wants a break. Image
Following these cycles:

- Reduces stress hormones
- Improves decision-making
- Prevents afternoon crashes
- Supports long-term health

The key: listen to your body's signals instead of ignoring them. Image
It's not about formal meditation or long naps.

Simple alignment:

- Work deeply for 60-90 minutes
- Take 10-20 minutes to decompress
- Step outside, stretch, or sit quietly
- Return refreshed for the next cycle

Here's why that 90 minutes is so important:
Here's how you can do it too:

- Focus on your most important task for 90 minutes
- Turn off notifications during this time
- When you feel your attention drifting, take a real break
- Repeat 2-3 times per day

Here's a simple routine you can try: Image
In Okinawa, Sardinia, and other Blue Zones:

- Physical activity happens throughout the day
- People work in natural rhythms
- Rest is built in

Daily rhythm matters. But what fuels those rhythms is just as important.

Diet plays a massive role, especially in energy production… Image
Most propaganda surrounding Blue Zones states that their diets are high in:

- Nuts
- Beans
- Grains

But that's not actually true...
Research shows their diets are extremely high in vitamins and minerals.

Specifically B vitamins (even from organ meats)

Because they help your body convert food into usable energy (ATP), support your nervous system, and power brain function. Image
Vitamin B is one of the most common deficiencies in America.

Studies suggest around 40%.

Mostly due to the lack of vitamin rich foods in their diet.

Here's how you can get more of it: Image
While getting vitamin B through diet is ideal,

It can also be supplemented.

This is Dr. Daniel Amen.

He’s the world’s #1 brain doctor, with 30+ years studying mental illness.

After scanning 225,000+ brains, he uncovered the most common ways people silently lose their mind.

Here are the top 11:

1) Low blood flow Image
Low blood flow is the #1 brain-imaging predictor of Alzheimer's disease.

It's caused by things like caffeine, nicotine, weed, alcohol, and poor sleep that restrict blood flow.

The worst one? Being overweight.

Dr. Amen explains what happens to your brain when you're overweight:
2) Retirement/aging

Nobody wants their brain aging faster than the rest of their body.

High iron levels is one of the most common causes.

Dr. Amen suggests donating blood if you have high iron levels.
