📰 News we're reading

• This Southern California City Is America's Only Blue Zone for a Surprising Reason (sunset.com) — Loma Linda’s unique Blue Zone status comes from its large, health-focused Seventh-day Adventist community, whose residents often live longer than the average Californian. Local researchers, volunteers, and a city councilmember share how plant-based diets, faith, slower-paced living, time in nature, and strong community ties shape daily life here and may contribute to residents’ longevity and resilience.
