Central Maui Blue Zone Recognition

Four years on from their launch, Blue Zones Maui has been active throughout the community generating partnerships with local organizations to support making the healthy choice the easier choice. In partnership with HMSA, the Blue Zones project strategic aim is to create a community of participants dedicated to making small changes that contribute to huge benefits for all including: lowered healthcare costs, improved productivity, and a higher quality for life.

Becoming recognized as a blue zone is an incredible recognition by the community. Establishing a blue zone is a total community effort, involving citizens, work sites, schools, restaurants, and grocery stores where at least 25% of employees in the area sign the blue zone pledge. Once established, Blue Zone community managers take the lead in being the community champions to help the communities make the blue zone a success.

The nine main pillars of a blue zone are:

• Move naturally
• Find your purpose
• Down shift to manage stress
• Eat until you are 80% rule
• Shift towards a vegetable prominent diet
• Wine at Five for moderate (1-2 glasses) wine intake
• Belong to a community
• Family first
• Find the right community fit

Hawaii is continually recognized as a demographic and/or geographic area of the world where people live measurably longer lives. Contributing factors to Hawaii’s designation as a Blue Zone is the abundance of sun/warm weather, natural beauty, and tropical foods.
