I am intrigued by stories about healthy aging and longevity. My readings consistently show that people who live the longest often follow relatively simple lifestyles shaped by diet, physical activity, strong social relationships, purposeful living, and mental wellbeing. Interestingly, many of these practices are not new. They have been embedded in traditional ways of life for generations. While modern medicine has helped increase life expectancy worldwide, many people are now asking a deeper question: how can we live longer while remaining healthy, active, independent, and mentally sharp?
