What the Approval Means

Blue Zones Project® listed Boulevard of Greens among its approved Fort Worth restaurants from 2018 on. In 2018, Fort Worth also became a certified Blue Zones Community®. You’ll see our Blue Zones Project Approved™ plaque in the café.

Blue Zones Project Approved status is given to a restaurant, not to single dishes. A restaurant earns it by putting healthy everyday practices in place, and the Blue Zones Project team checks the work.

What Are Blue Zones?

Blue Zones® are five places in the world where people live the longest and are healthiest. Blue Zones founder Dan Buettner, a National Geographic Fellow, found them with teams of researchers and studied how the people there live.

  • OkinawaJapan
  • SardiniaItaly
  • NicoyaCosta Rica
  • IkariaGreece
  • Loma LindaCalifornia

The people in all five places share nine everyday habits, which Blue Zones calls the Power 9®. We believe these habits can help lead to a long and happy life, and they guide how we cook.

The Power 9®

Nine habits the world’s longest-lived people share, and what each one means.

  • Move Naturally

    Build movement into your day. The longest-lived people walk, garden and do chores by hand rather than relying on workouts.


  • Purpose

    Know why you wake up in the morning. Okinawans call it ikigai; in Nicoya it’s plan de vida.


  • Downshift

    Shed stress every day, whether with a nap, a prayer, a moment to remember loved ones or a happy hour with friends.


  • 80% Rule

    Stop eating when you’re about 80% full (the Okinawan saying hara hachi bu), and make the last meal of the day the smallest.


  • Plant Slant

    Eat mostly plants, with beans at the center. Meat is a small, occasional food.


  • Wine @ 5

    In four of the five places, people enjoy a glass or two of wine a day, with friends or with food.


  • Belong

    Be part of a community. Nearly all of the centenarians Blue Zones interviewed belonged to a faith-based community.


  • Loved Ones First

    Put family first: keep aging parents and grandparents close, commit to a life partner and give your children time and love.


  • Right Tribe

    Surround yourself with people who support healthy habits. In Okinawa, groups of five friends called moais stay committed to each other for life.

The Power 9® comes from Blue Zones® research. Learn more at bluezones.com.
