“Studies have shown that Seventh-day Adventists, who have a broad range of ethnic backgrounds, live as much as a decade longer than the rest of us, which led to Loma Linda being identified as one of five longevity spots, called Blue Zones, on the planet and the only one in the United States.”
So notes the third paragraph of a feature story by reporter Mary MacVean published this week in the Los Angeles Times and headlined “Why Loma Linda residents live longer than the rest of us: They treat the body like a temple.”
The article prominently features the family of Daniel Fontoura, MBA, vice president for wholeness at Loma Linda University Health, as well as the long-running Adventist Health Studies conducted by Loma Linda University School of Public Health.
It also mentions the new Wholeness Institute at Loma Linda University Health and the planned facility of Loma Linda University Health – San Bernardino.
