After an open heart surgery, Fred Skey began focusing on the Blue Zone approaches to live a healthier life. Today, he is satisfied with a vegan diet, plenty of exercise and hobbies that give him a sense of purpose, an important aspect of the Blue Zone.
EDITOR'S NOTE: National Geographic fellow Dan Buettner visited Gainesville in April to share his nine “Blue Zone Power Approaches” to living a longer life. This series is dedicated to those approaches and how they can be implemented in Hall County. The third power approach, “Have Purpose,” states having a sense of purpose is worth up to seven years of extra life expectancy.
