Something called the Danish Twin Study 一个叫“丹麦双胞胎”的研究表明, established that only about 10 percent 普通人在生物学允许的限度内的寿命,
of how long the average person lives, 仅仅有百分之十
within certain biological limits, is dictated by our genes. 是由我们的基因决定的。
The other 90 percent is dictated by our lifestyle. 另外的百分之九十则取决于我们的生活方式。
So the premise of Blue Zones: if we can find the 因此,对蓝区研究的前提是:如果我们能找到
optimal lifestyle of longevity 长寿的最佳生活方式,
we can come up with a de facto formula 我们就可以得出一个实际的
for longevity. 长寿公式。
But if you ask the average American what the optimal formula 但是,如果你问个普通的美国人,最佳的
