Dan Buettner TEDMED 2011: A must see if you work in promoting health

This article in the New York Times and TEDMED 2011 talk really sum up some compelling ideas around the whole healthy lifestyle discussion. Dan Buettner gives a wonderful TEDMED 2011 talk that makes the case for building an ecosystem for healthy lifestyle habits that stick, with proven health results. The “Blue Zone” has a lot of the elements I worked to weave into the CHALK program and Vive tu Vida/Live your Life campaign, knowing that it takes a supportive environment to help people live their lives with health.
