Costa Rican diet, the environment, living long and well are all subjects discussed by Ligia Salazar, owner of Costa Rican food company Curubanda.

Ligia discusses how she discovered the connection between what she was eating and her health at the tender age of 16. Also she talks about how her diet has evolved from macrobiotics to how she eats now. Eating according to the season and eating local produce are things Ligia believes in. She also explains the six things that she thinks are important to the people of Nicoya, who enjoy one of the longest lifespans in the world in an area that is known to be one of the world's 'blue zones.'
