HEALTH : Blue Zones: involves all community segments

Patrick Miner's Web

Albert Lea, Minnesota is a small town located near the border with Iowa. Not unlike dozens of small towns in the region, there seems not much unique marking one town from others. Albert Lea is exceptional.
In 2009 Albert Lea accepted a challenge like no other community. Albert Lea's city's leadership accepted the invitation to become the pilot Blue Zone community. The leadership included government, private sector, education and eventually the State of Minnesota Department of Transportation.
The commitment to a healthy lifestyle is the core principle of a Blue Zone community. This commitment is not a simple assent. The commitment includes scientific measurements across a matrix quite complete and measurable.
This episode will be followed up with two more, each focused on stories of Blue Zone community efforts and successes.
