Understanding Longevity and Healthspan

A common misconception about longevity is that it simply refers to living long without the assurance of good health. Many people avoid the idea of longevity due to the fear of prolonged illness associated with aging, believing it means living many years beyond a healthy lifespan. However, recent discussions highlight the importance of distinguishing between lifespan and healthspan, emphasizing that true longevity should encompass living healthier for longer periods. This shift in perspective suggests that advancements in science are paving the way for individuals to enjoy life fully while aging gracefully.
