Sure, you won't find soda on it.
It should go without saying that water is good for you. Obviously, the body requires it and can only survive without it for about three days. But it's also incredibly healthful when compared to most beverages found on store shelves these days in that it doesn't contain sugar, chemicals, or additives.
In all Blue Zones, says Buettner, people drink water with their meals."It's not a big gallon of milk like we used to have when we were kids or some power drink or kombucha or any of these concoctions that are relentlessly marketed," he says. Buettner theorizes that the water in Blue Zonesbe more healthful than the water in other places, too."If you ask a centenarian what explains the longevity of the area, they'll say good food, clean air, and fresh water," he says.
In the Nicoya Peninsula or Costa Rica, Buettner explains that the water that bubbles out of the Earth is also very high in calcium and magnesium."When you have high levels of calcium and sunshine, those two conspire to make your bones stronger so people have fewer fractures and fewer fatal falls," he explains."And magnesium is good for heart function. So that may contribute some small part to longevity in Nicoya.
