Podcast appearances and mentions of Cathy Wong

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are exploring the phenomenon that is the Blue Zone as we embark on a life that's thriving and not just surviving. Have you heard about the Blue Zone? Blue Zones are regions around the world where people live much longer than average, often reaching age 100 or older. These areas have been studied for their common lifestyle and environmental factors that contribute to longevity and overall well-being. Who doesn't want to live longer IF you could feel good, achieve happiness, and be content? That's the key, long life could be a burden if you are sick, lonely, and unfulfilled. So no matter where you are in your journey, you can pivot your thinking and embrace some new ideas to improve your quality of life and your longevity. Dan Buettner is an explorer, National Geographic Fellow, award-winning journalist and producer, and New York Times bestselling author. He discovered the five places in the world – dubbed blue zones – where people live the longest, healthiest lives.  Buettner's work is now spread across the country in partnership with municipal governments, large employers, and health insurance companies to implement Blue Zones Projects in communities, workplaces, and universities. Blue Zones Projects are well-being initiatives that apply lessons from the blue zones to entire communities by focusing on changes to the local environment, public policy, and social networks. The program has dramatically improved the health of more than 5 million Americans to date. You may have seen his recent Netflix series, Live to be 100 where Dan travels around the world to discover five unique communities where people live extraordinarily long and vibrant lives. It really is a must-see for any age. I was really excited to learn the four principles that span each zone.  Eating wisely  Moving naturally  Connecting with others Having a purpose or outlook Sounds simple right? Wrong. As I dug into my own perception of health and wellness I saw some skewed thinking and a real opportunity to change the way I looked at some of these things. So let's dig into each of these to explore what we “thought” and how that might shife with a new perspective.  Cathy Wong from Very Well Mind lays out The Blue Zone Diet - How to Eat Like the World's Longest-Living People On the Someritus Life Design Center's website, I found more on the Blue Zone Principle - Move Naturally Alexa Mikhail from Fortune explains the importance of social connections in the Blue Zones Nell Derick Debevoise shares The Power Of Purpose: How Ikigai Can Help Us Live Longer from the Blue Zone Principals found at forbes.com Here are some key concepts of Blue Zone living: Plant-based Diet: Blue Zone residents typically eat a plant-based diet rich in vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains. They consume meat sparingly, often as a celebratory or small portion. Physical Activity: Regular, natural movement is a part of daily life in Blue Zones. Residents engage in activities like walking, gardening, and manual labor. Social Engagement: Strong social networks and close-knit communities are common in Blue Zones. Regular social interactions and support contribute to overall well-being. Purpose and Meaning: Blue Zone residents often have a strong sense of purpose in life, whether through work, family, or community involvement. Having a reason to wake up each day is linked to longevity. Stress Reduction: Strategies for managing stress, such as taking regular breaks, napping, or praying, are common in Blue Zones. These practices help reduce chronic stress, which is associated with various health issues. Moderate Alcohol: In some Blue Zones, residents enjoy moderate amounts of alcohol, typically in the form of wine, with meals and in social settings. Belonging to a Faith-based Community: Many Blue Zone residents are part of a faith-based community, which provides social support and a sense of belonging. Family First: Blue Zone cultures often prioritize family and intergenerational relationships, with elders being highly respected and involved in family life. CHALLENGE: Re-evaluate your thinking on what contributes to a happy and healthy life. Be willing to exchange some ideas that may be skewed with new concepts that have healthier payoffs. These principles not only promote longevity but also contribute to a higher quality of life and overall well-being.   I Know YOU Can Do It!

« Ceux qui se plaignent tout le temps, pourquoi ils ne sont pas plus comme les Asiatiques, hein? Eux ils s’intègrent, ils respectent nos valeurs, tout ça, sans jamais se plaindre. » Les débats enflammés touchant aux relations interculturelles donnent parfois lieu à e drôle de réflexions, dont celles, récurrentes, qui mettent en compétition certains groupes ethniques contre d’autres. Dans cet épisode, Dalila et Vanessa se posent des questions sur l’instrumentalisation des communautés asiatiques en compagnie de Cathy Wong, Québécoise d’origine chinoise et présidente du conseil municipal de Montréal.

Ants navigate to and from food using pheromone trails; the stronger the pheromone trail, the more ants following it, like some kind of highway map. Humans use similar mapping strategies as we navigate through life, but how do we know that the paths we’re on will lead us to where we want to be? Today’s show is about navigating, with four stories and a poem about various ways that humans are moving through the world, with unique answers to these questions: How do we navigate through life without any instructions, or with instructions that might be wrong? How do we know which way to go to get whatever we’re going for? And how do we decide when to stop moving?

Série Mon cœur est Montréal À l’occasion de l’année Impressions Montréal, BAnQ vous propose une toute nouvelle série où des artistes, des bâtisseurs et des penseurs de divers milieux présentent leur vision de Montréal. Quels sont les rôles, les défis et les enjeux de la métropole? Quelles orientations politiques, économiques, sociales et culturelles lui permettraient de s’inscrire parmi les villes modernes, écologiques, équitables, prospères et innovatrices du XXIe siècle? S’engager à Montréal L’engagement à Montréal se vit de multiples façons. La métropole peut compter sur de valeureuses personnes et d’essentiels organismes qui forment un fil conducteur entre les communautés, allant à la rencontre des gens parfois oubliés, parfois en détresse. Découvrez le parcours de nos invités, deux amoureux de leur ville qui, par leur engagement, font vivre Montréal à leur façon. Par Dan Bigras En parallèle à une longue carrière de musicien et de comédien, Dan Bigras exerce plusieurs formes d’engagement auprès de différents groupes à Montréal et ailleurs. De 2006 à 2010, en collaboration avec la Fondation du Dr Julien, il enseigne les arts martiaux à des enfants en difficulté. Mais il est aussi l’ami et le confident des jeunes, et l’âme du Refuge. Depuis 20 ans, Dan Bigras en est le porte-parole et organise chaque année le célèbre Show du Refuge qui amasse des fonds pour venir en aide aux 17-24 ans. Et c’est justement en tant qu’allié des jeunes qu’il participe à Gang de rue, une série documentaire diffusée à Télé-Québec, qui permet à cinq jeunes de bâtir des projets de A à Z pour changer le monde, un geste utile à la fois, pour eux-mêmes et pour la communauté.
