Detailed Analysis
Driven by a desire to live longer, healthier lives, consumers are increasingly focused on dietary choices that promote longevity. "While the human lifespan may turn out to have insurmountable biological limits, extending our healthspan—the years we live in good health—is entirely possible." This trend is reflected in the growing interest in Blue Zone diets, which emphasize plant-based whole foods and healthy lifestyles. "As a result, we see rising interest in Blue Zone diets (regions where people live significantly longer, healthier lives) for longevity and associated superfoods." The focus is shifting from simply extending lifespan to maximizing healthspan, the years lived in good health.
