Known for its full-service breakfast, lunch and freshly-made pies, Mountain View Kitchen has recently introduced four vegan options to appeal to the wide-ranging tastes and dietary needs of its customers and promote Fountain Hills as a Blue Zone-friendly town.
Blue Zones are regions throughout the world where people live long lives due to healthy lifestyle choices that encompass regular exercise, a whole-food diet, low stress and strong social connections.
There are currently five blue zones including Sardinia, Italy; Loma Linda, Calif.; Ikaria, Greece; Okinawa, Japan; and Nicoya, Costa Rica.
