Join NIHD’s Kalina Gardiner, RDN, as she discusses Life and Longevity in the Blue Zones, Thursday, March 17th, 5:30 p.m., live on YouTube and Zoom.
Few places in the world are called “Blue Zones.” The term refers to geographic areas in which people have low rates of chronic disease and live longer than anywhere else. Studies show only about 10 percent of how long one lives is dictated by genes, the other 90 percent is by lifestyle. Join Kalina as part of National Nutrition Month by exploring the five places dubbed the “Blue Zones,” where people live the longest and healthiest. She will discuss the foods, lifestyles, and mindsets of the Blue Zones to ultimately help increase health and well-being.
Kalina Gardiner, RDN, provides nutritional care for NIHD’s in-patient and out-patient communities. She received her undergraduate degree in Nutritional Sciences from California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo, and her supervised practice through University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Kalina believes in a “non-diet” approach, and instead opts for creating sustainable lifestyle habits. She helps guide patients in making healthier, informed decisions about their health and well-being.
