You need to learn more about what a blue zone is.

Or you could share this weird esoteric knowledge that other people don't know about but you do.

So instead of being a prick like the person you're actually replying to I'll answer you. Blue zones are areas where the population regularly reaches over 100. The point they're making is the people over 100 in those areas usually seem to be doing pretty well, moving, some even run, and die suddenly (things just happen to turn downhill very fast when you're that old, nothing sinister implied)
