Longevity: the art of healthy ageing
Does this sound familiar?
- You feel fine, but notice that it takes you longer to recover after a busy week.
- You see your parents getting older and wonder what that will mean for you.
- You want to still be travelling, exercising and mentally sharp twenty years from now.
- You’re hearing more and more about longevity, but don’t know what’s evidence-based and what’s hype.
Did you know that we’re living longer, but not staying healthy for longer?
We’re living longer and longer. Good news, you might think. But since the 1980s, the number of years we live without chronic illness has actually fallen. Life expectancy has risen over the past twenty years, but those extra years are mostly spent in poorer health. On average, people in the Netherlands live for decades with at least one chronic condition.
The good news: much of how you age is in your own hands. Nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress and recovery have a proven impact on your risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and other conditions that often only become apparent later in life. The sooner you start, the more you can do for yourself.
