Importance of Creating Your Centenarian Decathlon for Exercise
Creating a centenarian decathlon, a list of ten movements you aim to perform at age 100, serves as a sustainable approach to exercise. Transitioning from inactivity to light daily exercise can significantly reduce overall mortality. Dr. Atia emphasizes the need to start working on these exercises early to maintain physical function later in life. By setting specific exercise goals and gradually increasing the challenge, individuals can promote longevity through consistent physical activity.
Benefits of Experimenting with Food Restrictions and Tracking Sleep
Dr. Atia recommends trying simple food restrictions like caloric, dietary, or time restrictions to promote better health and energy levels. These strategies help individuals consume fewer unnecessary calories and make healthier dietary choices. Additionally, tracking sleep patterns using tools like sleep trackers can reveal opportunities for improvement in sleep quality. Understanding and optimizing sleep patterns can enhance overall well-being and complement efforts in exercise and nutrition for long-term health benefits.
