The secret ingredient of Blue Zones is … not so cut-and-dried
Blue Zones — longevity hotspots such as Okinawa, Japan, and Icaria, Greece — have a few things in common. For one, the residents' diets are primarily made up of plants and are especially heavy on vegetables, beans, whole grains, and nuts. Most people in these locations are not strict vegetarians, but they tend to eat meat around five times per month. Fish, which is associated with slower brain decline in old age and reduced risk of heart disease, is also a staple.

cbdMD Broad Spectrum CBD Gummies
cbdMD Broad Spectrum CBD Gummies
We like three things about these broad-spectrum CBD gummies (by the way, "broad-spectrum" means they contain a whole bunch of different cannabinoids and terpenes):
   1. Each bottle contains a mix of 4 juicy tropical flavors.
   2. They don't contain any THC, but they're higher potency than many other brands (you may want to start with half a gummy).
   3. They are currently 38% off — what a deal!
