People are becoming increasingly more interested in living longer.
Health, wellness, dieting, and fitness are more and more prominent on social media, and health monitoring technology are becoming increasingly popular.
Cardiologist Dr Eric Topol has been researching longevity for decades, and is considered to be one of the top five voices on the subject.
He’s just released his latest book, ‘Super Agers’, a detailed guide to living a longer, healthier life.
Topol told Mike Hosking it’s not necessarily about living longer, but rather extending the years someone lives with intact health.
He says living to 90 and being perfectly health throughout ought to be more important than trying to live to 110 and having many years of dementia, or profound frailty, or poor quality of life.
Although there are revolutions happening in regards to anti-inflammatory and hormonal medications, Topol says it’s never going to be as simple as a pill.
Things like lifestyle factors, environmental pollution, microplastics, and forever chemicals also need to be controlled, he explains.
Listen to the full interview for a detailed explanation of health, longevity, and the new developments in the medical sector.
