This week’s episode is all about longevity. Many of us think we would not like to live into old age because we associate it with illness and discomfort. But this does not need to be the case. There are simple things we can all do that could increase our health span as well as our life span. As you will hear in this episode, decline is not inevitable as we get older and there are many factors under our control that can affect how we age - from how we exercise, to how much we sleep, how we use our brain and what and when we eat.You’ll also hear why compassion, community, purpose and friendship are important for our health and our lifespan. And why certain types of stress can actually be good for us and help us to live longer. Studies even show that our happiness, our mindset, and approach to life can be a factor in how long we live.Finally, you’ll hear a clip about whether ageing should be seen as a disease that we can treat and a discussion about what ageing might look like in the future. I really believe that the changes we can make to improve our health and longevity are a lot more achievable than many of us think. I hope this episode helps you to find ways to implement some small daily habits that will help you to live a long, healthy, active and fulfilling life. This episode includes clips from:Episode 208 David SinclairEpisode 147 Matthew WalkerEpisode 112 Daniel LevitinEpisode 74 Felice JackaEpisode 81 Satchin PandaEpisode 151 Laurie SantosEpisode 138 Julian AbelEpisode 167 Tommy WoodEpisode 128 Daniel LiebermanEpisode 67 Dan BuettnerEpisode 197 James NestorEpisode 206 Roger SeheultThanks to our sponsors: https://www.leafyard.com/livemore https://www.blublox.com/livemore https://www.athleticgreens.com/livemoreOrder Dr Chatterjee's new book Happy Mind, Happy Life: UK version and US & Canada version Show notes available at https://drchatterjee.com/240DISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
