As we strive to live up to 100 years and beyond, a recent report highlights the importance of prioritising healthy longevity over mere lifespan. The surprising 12-year gap in healthy ageing has sparked a new wave of interest in understanding the key factors that contribute to a long and healthy life. With the global population experiencing a significant increase in lifespan, it's essential to focus on maintaining our physical and mental wellbeing as we age. By incorporating healthy habits, such as regular exercise and a balanced diet, into our daily routine, we can bridge the gap and increase our chances of living a healthy, happy life well into old age. With the rise of age-related diseases, such as dementia and Alzheimer's, it's crucial to take proactive steps towards healthy ageing, and with the right approach, we can add years to our life and life to our years, making the most of our golden years and enjoying a long and healthy life, free from chronic diseases and disabilities. Key areas of focus include preventative healthcare, lifestyle modifications, and innovative treatments, all of which can contribute to a significant improvement in our overall health and wellbeing as we age, and help us to live a longer, healthier and happier life.
