In Blue Zones—regions known for the longevity of their populations—vegetables make up a significant portion of the diet. Research shows that in these areas, plant-based diets account for about 95% of daily food intake, with a heavy emphasis on vegetables, beans, and whole grains. In places like Okinawa, Japan, and Sardinia, Italy, for instance, people consume at least 5 to 6 servings of vegetables daily, contributing to their overall health and longevity.
