Peter Attia writes a book that is a little too technical (statistics and biochemistry) for the lay reader, but I highly recommend it anyway.
Why?
He promotes the idea that people can work on longevity much earlier in their lives by adopting healthy lifestyle choices decades before one becomes an older adult. Many people wait until they have symptoms of chronic diseases before they make changes.
Attia implores people to start decades early so that they can not just have a long life span but a long health span.
Longevity runs in my family, but I do not want to spend the last 20 years of my life on the couch.
Here is a video that gives an overview and includes a chart about expanding the years that we have good mobility and cognition.
Because of my father dying when I was 3 I have always been aware of health issues eventually becoming a RN.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you are aware of wellness. I work at a university, and a lot of people "live in their heads" and neglect their bodies. All my best to you.
DeleteThis certainly makes sense.
