Defining Longevity

  • Healthspan considers physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being, encompassing aspects like pain-free mobility, mental sharpness, and social connections.
ADVICE

Never Too Late for Longevity

  • It's never too late to invest in your longevity, just like it's never too late to start saving for retirement. Even starting exercise in your 60s-70s provides remarkable benefits.

Quality over Quantity

  • Prioritize adding "life to years" over simply "years to life." Focus on quality of life, not just life expectancy.
