Actively Ageing @ Kampong Glam

See how we are actively ageing here at Kampong Glam! https://www.facebook.com/denisephuapage/videos/989541469613896/

My senior residents and I are ACTIVELY AGEING in Jalan Besar GRC (Kampong Glam)!

The term “Blue Zone” was coined by author and cycling Guinness World Record holder Dan Buettner. Blue Zones are “longevity hot spots” that share a common characteristic: they are home to a large number of centenarians whose lifestyle incorporates daily physical activity, low stress, supportive social interactions, a local diet, and low disease incidence.

The named Blue Zones across the globe are Okinawa, Japan; Ikaria, Greece; Sardinia, Italy; Loma Linda, California; and the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica. SINGAPORE was recently added to the list as the only city and the only place whose leaders embraced the principles of Blue Zones to create such a zone.
