Longevity

Longevity has 2 aspects

Lifespan¶

• Lifespan is the total number of years you live
• Often trying to prevent or slow down death from aging

Health span¶

• The number of years you live free from serious disease, disability, and cognitive decline.
• It’s about quality of life, not just length.

Prioritize extending healthspan¶

• Many people live long lives but spend the last 10–20 years with poor quality of life.
• A longer lifespan without healthspan just prolongs illness and frailty.

Notes¶

Aging is not accepted as a disease, so is not officially treated.
But everything that causes aging is seen as bad.
- people live over 100 years in blue zones
- take supplement if lacking certain nutritients

• frequent conversations lead to happier relationships
  • Across the decades and surveys, similar findings emerged again and again: The happiest participants called others regularly, made lunch and dinner dates, sent notes to friends saying they were proud of them, or wanted to help them shoulder sad news. Most of all, happy participants engaged in many, many conversations over the years that brought them closer to others. “Through all the years of studying these lives, one crucial factor stands out for the consistency and power of its ties to physical health, mental health and longevity,” reads a 2023 summary of the Harvard data. “Good relationships keep us healthier and happier.” And, in many instances, those relationships were established, and kept alive, via long and intimate discussions.
