Focus on the healthspan before lifespan

I had never heard of the term ‘healthspan’ before. I thought all of the humanity is narrowly focused on increasing the lifespan, if not becoming immortal.

Healthspan means the length of life lived in good health without any disease. Investment in improving your healthspan will almost always result in improving lifespan.

One interesting observation that came out from studying ceneterians was their ability to resist disease. And not just resit by a few years but a few decades. That’s how they were able to live longer.

So if there one thing that you can take away from this is to gear your actions towards activities like exercise, nutrition, etc, to delay the onset of any chronic disease as much as possible.
