7 Day Blue Zone Diet Meal Plan (PDF + Menu)

A Blue Zone diet is considered one of the healthiest to follow for health and longevity.

Blue Zones are places where people live much longer than typically found elsewhere in the world. They produce higher than average centanarians and fewer health conditions into their older years.

The Blue Zone includes regions like Okinawa (Japan), Sardinia (Italy), Nicoya, (Costa Rica) and Icaria (Greece).

Although there are various factors involved in keeping populations alive longer, diet is one of the most important within these populations.

The article below will cover everything you need to know about following a blue zone diet plan and offer a sample 7 day plan to follow.

Overview of a Blue Zone Diet

The Blue Zones concept was founded when researchers looked into the common characteristics of areas that produce the most centurions. The people in these populations typically followed these criteria:

Strong ties to friends and family
Lower proportion of smokers
Consistent engagement in moderate physical activity
Integrated into their community
Predominantly plant-based diet
Legumes commonly eaten

In terms of the diet aspect, these populations tended to eat a mostly vegetarian diet with meat consumed only occasionally. These are typical of a Mediterranean-style diet.

However, how they ate is also important. They don’t restrict any foods and enjoy all the food they eat.

They also tend to eat in-season, organic food that they can bought locally. These foods are less likely to be processed and are likely to contain all the nutrients they need in their daily lives.

Although the exact types of food can vary across the different localities, they follow most of the same characteristics.

Foods to Eat Regularly on a Blue Zone Diet

The main focus is to eat whole, unprocessed foods. Although you don’t need to completely remove any types of food, these are the sorts of foods generally eaten in these populations.

Legumes

Legumes are a common staple across the different populations. They are an excellent plant-based protein source, contain very little fat and are high in various nutrients. They are also full of fiber.

Types of legumes differ across the countries. For example, white beans and lentils are commonly consumed in the Mediterranean, soybeans are consumed more often in Okinawa and black beans in Nicoya.

Studies show that legumes can:

Reduce risk of heart disease and lower cholesterol levels (1, 2)
Reduce blood pressure and triglycerides (3, 4)
Reduce weight loss over the long term (5, 6)
Improve insulin sensitivity (7, 8)

Examples include:

Chickpeas
Lentils
Peanuts
Beans
Peas

Fruits & Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables have been established to be very healthy foods to consume and help improve longevity. They are typically full of vitamins, minerals and fiber.

Various studies find a whole slew of health benefits when eating these kinds of foods regularly. Some of these include:

Lower risk of heart disease (9, 10, 11)
Reduced risk of blood pressure (12)
Reduced risk of cancer (13)
Reduced risk of diabetes (14)

Some specific types of fruits and vegetables worth taking note of include:

Citrus fruits: These contain lots of beta-carotene and vitamin C amongst other vitamins. Eating more of these foods may reduce the risk of degenerative diseases (15). Examples include oranges, grapefruits and lemons.
Cruciferous vegetables: These contain a group of compounds called glucosinolates, which have been linked to the prevention of cancer (16, 17). Examples include broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower.
Berries: These contain anti-inflammatory anthocyanins. These compounds have been linked to decreased oxidative stress and better heart health (18). Popular berries include blueberries, strawberries and raspberries.
Leafy greens: These contain carotenoids. Carotenoids have been linked with multiple health benefits such as reduced risk of heart disease, stroke and cancer (19, 20). Examples include kale and spinach.

A good rule of thumb is to eat a variety of colours and types of these foods to ensure you have a better mix of the nutrients required.

Whole Grains

Whole grains have a bad reputation because they contain lots of carbs. However, they contain important vitamins, minerals and fiber.

Only when they are refined do they lose a lot of what makes them healthy. When a grain is refined, the bran and germ of the grain is removed, which contain most of the nutrients.

About 65% of the diets in the blue zones are made up of whole grains, beans, and starchy tubers. Whole grains have lots of studies to support eating them for a variety of health benefits, including:

Reduced risk of heart disease ( (21, 22)
Reduced risk of type 2 diabetes (23, 24)
Reduced risk of stroke (25)
Lower risk of obesity (26, 27)

Some examples of whole grains include:

Oatmeal
Whole grain bread
Barley
Quinoa
Brown rice
Bulgur

Fatty Fish

Fatty fish contains lots of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important in various body functions and promoting heart and brain health. They aren’t produced by the body and must be consumed in food. They are most abundant in fatty fish.

Many studies find an association between people who eat fish regularly and a lower risk of various health conditions such as heart attacks and strokes (28, 29, 30).

In one study on more than 40,000 men in the United States, those who regularly ate one or more servings of fish per week had a 15% lower risk of heart disease (31).

Studies have also linked to the eating of fatty fish to reduced mental decline in older people. reduced mental decline in older adults. People who eat fish regularly also have more gray matter in the brain centers that control memory and emotion (32).

Generally, a good rule of thumb is to eat fatty fish 1-2 times a week.

All types of fish are high in various vitamins and minerals as well as protein. However, not all types of fish contain these omega-3 fatty acids. Fatty fish include:

Tuna
Herring
Trout
Salmon
Mackerel
Sardines

Nuts and Seeds

Nuts and seeds are good sources of protein, healthy fats, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.

Although they are thought be fattening and contain lots of calories, research consistently shows they are one of the best foods you can eat for weight loss.

One of the reasons is that your body doesn’t absorb all the calories from them, as a portion of fat is trapped within the nut’s fibrous wall through the digestive process.

In a study in overweight women, those eating almonds lost nearly three times as much weight and experienced a significantly greater decrease in waist size compared to the control group (33).

Another study found those who ate two or more portions of nuts per week had a 31% lower risk of weight gain compared to the control group that didn’t eat them (34).

Due to the unique nutrient profiles of nuts and seeds, they are known to provide several health benefits, such as:

Reduce or maintain weight
Reduce heart disease risk
Reduce diabetes risk

Some of the most commonly eaten nuts include:

Almonds
Brazil nuts
Cashews
Hazelnuts
Macadamia nuts
Pecans
Pine nuts
Pistachios
Walnuts

The nutrient makeup of seeds are similar to those of nuts. Common seeds include:

Pumpkin seeds
Flax seeds
Sesame seeds
Sunflower seeds
Chia seeds.

Lean Protein

Out of all the macronutrients (carbs, fat, protein), protein is the most filling and therefore, eat less food (35).

Protein is known to boost levels of the hormone peptide YY (a hormone that makes you feel full) and reduce levels of ghrelin (a hormone that makes you feel hungry). (36, 37).

These effects on appetite can be powerful. In one study, increasing protein intake from 15% to 30% of calories made overweight women eat 441 fewer calories each day without intentionally restricting anything (38).

It also helps build muscle and strength. If you build muscle through weight training, your muscles require more energy to maintain and you use up more energy. This can also help you lose weight.

Lean protein includes chicken, turkey and fish. The reason these meats are preferred to other meats, particularly red meat, is because they are lower in saturated fat.

Red meats like beef, pork and lamb are higher in saturated fat, which is linked to increased cholesterol levels and other health risks. These foods are lower in sugars and higher in important vitamins and nutrients, including fiber and protein.

Foods to Limit on a Blue Zone Diet

You shouldn’t feel guilty for treating yourself occasionally, but don’t make a habit of eating these foods regularly:

Junk foods: fast food and potato chips
Refined carbohydrates: white bread, pasta, crackers, flour tortillas, biscuits
Fried foods: french fries, donuts, fried meats
Sugar-sweetened beverages: soda, tea with added sugar, sports drinks
Processed meats: bacon, canned meat, salami, sausages
Trans fats: vegetable oil and margarine

What’s the Best Blue Zone Diet?

If you’re looking for an eating plan that closely follows the guidelines and foods mentioned, the Mediterranean diet is considered one of the best.

The main characteristics of eating a Mediterranean diet are typical of a balanced diet and include:

High unsaturated-to-saturated fat ratio
High consumption of fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and unrefined grains
Increased consumption of fish
Moderate consumption of low-fat dairy (mostly cheese and yogurt)
Limited intake of red meat and processed foods

Many credible organisations suggest following a Mediterranean diet for longevity and health. These include:

It was ranked the number 1 diet according to the U.S. News & World Report.

In particular, it comes out on top when it comes to its healthiness and how easy it is to follow. This makes it a perfect diet to follow if you want to follow a diet over the long-term and find a sustainable way of eating.

In terms of the specific studies that back the Mediterranean diet, a few studies looking at various health factors have been linked to below:

Lower risk of cardiovascular events, coronary heart disease, (39, 40)
Lower risk of coronary heart disease (41, 42)
Lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes (43)
Lower risk of breast cancer (44)
Lower risk of obesity (45)
Better cognitive function (46)
