LOMA LINDA, Calif. — A Blue Zone is a region where people live exceptionally long lives. One such zone is in Southern California, in the City of Loma Linda. LA Times Golden State columnist Steve Lopez and photographer Genaro Molina went to Loma Linda to see for themselves what provides residents this longevity. Lopez joined Lisa McRee on “LA Times Today.”Lopez explained why Loma Linda is grouped with other places like Sardinia, or Okinawa, Japan, as a Blue Zone. Lopez talked about whether the research is sound, and if it’s possible to show a correlation between Blue Zone lifestyles and longer lifespans.
