“Blue Mind Theory”

Loma Linda is in a desert valley situated between parched hills and the I-10 freeway, nestled under a blanket of perpetual smog.

This is a criminal abuse of zoomed-out maps and a negligently written article. A more accurate representation of LL’s “seaside” location: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Loma+Linda,+CA/@34.0389499...

It might have more to do with the strict lifestyle choices than the sights and sounds of the sea an hour drive away.

It took me a while to figure out how your comment connects to the submitted article, but I think I've got it now. The article is advocating for blue zones, and Loma Linda is a designated blue zone. Is that right?

Loma Linda is a bluezone because of diet and community. They are very far away from the ocean. The environment their is more desert rather then Mediterranean climate.

How do I know? I live in LA county about a couple miles due west of loma linda. That city is really inland and not considered to be near the ocean at all.

The Seventh Day Adventists are strict vegans. I assume that has more to do with it than anything.
