What if the secret to a longer, healthier, more joyful life wasn't a diet or a pill — but belonging, movement, purpose, and joy? Researchers found exactly that. And it became the blueprint for Boss Adult Center.
Seniors living in Japan, Italy, Greece, Costa Rica and Loma Linda, California have been called by researchers "pro-agers" for living longer, fuller lives with lower rates of chronic disease, including dementia and cardiovascular disease. How do they do it? They live in close communities, engage in recurring social activities with familiar faces, and live a purpose-driven life with low stress.
No pharmaceutical company can bottle purpose or belonging — some of our most ancient traditions. They must be lived, fully, and in companion with others. At BAC, every program is designed with your longevity in mind.
Blue Zone communities are only the beginning of the road at BAC. Longevity researchers are uncovering new evidence about what it means to live well at lightning speed. We plan to infuse that science into your social calendar.
Japanese Neurologist, Dr. Tanaka, tracked seniors in Kyoto, Japan over the age of 80 for approximately 8 years. He found that seniors who wrote in a journal for 10–15 minutes daily activated 17 different pathways in the brain, boosting their brain power and lowering their chances of cognitive decline.
A JAMA Neurology study found that walking 9,800 steps daily was associated with a 51% lower risk of dementia, while having a high sense of purpose in one's life is associated with a 30% lower risk.
MIDUS research on longevity in the United States shows that dense social networks, closeness with members, and frequency in socializing boosts healthy aging and lowers the risk of illness and depression.
“Boss Adult Center was built on the belief that aging is no longer a slow elevator to nowhere, but rather a speedboat that picks you and your friends up, and transports you towards healthier, longer and more joyful lives.”
