“As I’ve traveled across America over two terms as Surgeon General, I’ve discovered something deeply disturbing." "This sense of community has eroded for too many of us, with alarming consequences,” Murthy wrote. Research has demonstrated the critical role that community and connection have in longevity and health, and Murthy identified three core pillars that help people build community: relationships, service, and purpose (see below for a visual representation). Murthy wrote that engaging in these three pillars can “significantly influence health outcomes, including premature mortality, heart disease, depression, and anxiety.” Here’s how Murthy defines each of these elements, and how you can start incorporating them into your life to feel more fulfilled, healthier, and happier: https://lnkd.in/esbf8Rt9

Completed reading "Lifespan: Why We Age - and Why We Don't Have To" by David Sinclair. Diseases are innumerable but ageing is the mother of all diseases observes biologist Dr. David Sinclair. And he is right. Medical science has helped elongate human lifespan by decades but alas it has failed to increase our healthspan. A long life might not be a healthy one. But with apt lifestyle changes and emerging technologies mankind is all set to experience an age of healthy longevity. #lifespan #davidsinclair #agingprocess #antiaging #slowaging #reverseaging #longevity #liveyounger #livehealthier #livelonger #lifestylechanges

World-renowned cardiologist Dr. Robin Choudury, author of The Beating Heart, reveals that how we care for our hearts early in life can protect us later on. Emerging research shows that while heart disease often appears in our 50s or 60s, the groundwork is laid much earlier. "The mechanisms of ‘biological memory’ are becoming clearer. A healthy lifestyle in our teens, 20s, and 30s pays off in later life." The Global Longevity Study conducted by the Oxford Longevity Project and Roundglass found that 1 in 3 people listed heart disease as their top health concern. Turn this concern into action! By making heart-healthy choices now, we can protect ourselves for years to come. It’s never too early to make heart healthy memories! _______ #HeartHealth #Longevity #PreventionIsKey
