INSIGHT

Lifestyle Outweighs Genes

  • Genetics account for about 20–25% of longevity according to twin studies.
  • Lifestyle and environment control roughly 75–80% of how long and how well you live.
ADVICE

Prioritize Nutrient-Dense Whole Foods

  • Eat a nutrient-dense, balanced whole food diet with fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and meat.
  • Prioritize whole foods because processed foods drive overeating and dilute micronutrient intake.
ADVICE

Keep Weight Healthy and Move Moderately

  • Maintain a healthy body weight to reduce mortality risk and support better body composition.
  • Exercise regularly at moderate intensity most days rather than chasing extreme performance for best longevity benefit.
