Extending the health span rather than simply the lifespan is crucial for optimal living. A mere 20% of health knowledge can yield 80% of the desired health outcomes, highlighting the efficiency of focused, informed approaches. In modern healthcare, the emphasis should shift from merely managing diseases to achieving the best possible health and vitality. This new approach encourages individuals to actively avoid diseases and enhance their long-term health prospects.
