Younger generations aren’t necessarily focusing on longevity but our longer lifespans are affecting us at all stages of life. From the hazards of plastics to the drawbacks of food mass production, awareness of improving our health is greater than ever. We can control our futures to make our lives longer and healthier through diet, social networks and exercise but we can have an impact through investing to support healthy lifespans and help us meet the needs of our ageing societies.  https://www.thelongevityforum.com

Exercise is intrinsic to the human species so its crucial to find something you enjoy otherwise your physical activity will be a struggle. Always compliment your exercise with weight resistance and Norman offers guidance on proper muscle development.
