THE GOAL: HEALTH-SPAN

In our society, most people live by the Sick-Care Approach:

  • Cultivate bad habits thinking they are 'normal'.
  • Ignore health until problems get too big...
  • Only act when performance goes downhill fast.

This approach tries to 'buy back time' once it's almost too late. We've all seen it!

But what's the point of living long if you're too weak to enjoy what you've built in your life?

ITS SMARTER TO ACT PROACTIVELY

The truth is: There is no single magic solution.

The longevity community has understood this:

Like with all good things, it's a combination.

6 STEPS TO LONGEVITY

Each of these contributes to the desired goal: Strong years, starting now.

1. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

All-cause mortality is decreased by about 30% to 35% in physically active people as compared to inactive people [Reimer et al, 2012].

Exercise strengthens the cardiovascular system, supports muscle and bone health, and boosts mood through the release of endorphins.

Activities such as walking, swimming, strength training, and yoga not only reduce the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease but also improve cognitive function.

At least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week for optimal health.

Totally achievable: That's 20 minutes per day.

2. GREAT SLEEP

Quality sleep is essential for cellular repair, immune function, and mental clarity [Scott et al, 2021].

Sounds good, but poor sleep is linked to increased risks of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.

Adults typically require 7-9 hours of sleep per night, with an emphasis on maintaining consistent sleep and wake times.

Practices such as reducing screen time before bed, creating a comfortable sleep environment, and managing stress can greatly enhance sleep quality.

3. INFLAMMATION CONTROL

Cellular health is at the core of all our body functions.

It goes along with inflammation, a silent contributor to many diseases, including arthritis, Alzheimer’s, and cancer.

As such, inflammation is an important driver of aging [Arai et al, 2015].

Reducing systemic inflammation and fueling your energy cells, the mitochondria, are essential keys to longevity.

This can be achieved through lifestyle choices such as avoiding smoking, alcohol consumption, and managing stress.

Cell boosting and anti-inflammatory foods like fatty fish, berries, leafy greens, nuts, and spices like curcuma can further support this goal. 

4. GOOD FOOD AND NUTRIENTS

A nutrient-rich diet is a powerful tool for longevity.

Whole, unprocessed foods provide the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants necessary for optimal health. Incorporating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats creates a balanced diet.

Additionally, avoiding sugar while staying hydrated ensures metabolic efficiency.

Some longevity-focused diets, such as the Mediterranean or Blue Zone diets, emphasize plant-based foods, healthy fats like olive oil, and moderate portions of fish and legumes.

5. MENTAL FITNESS

The easiest for our culture.

Staying engaged in meaningful activities, being curious and learning new skills have important cognitive benefits and may prevent cognitive decline as we grow older.

6. HAPPINESS

This might surprise you, but...

A higher level of happiness is associated with a longer life expectancy [Lawrence et al, 2015].

It is important to enjoy life and surround yourself with positive and good people and to fully enjoy the life you've built.

As you can see: Being able to enjoy your life thanks to feeling great, and actually enjoying it seem to have a compounding effect!
