Living longer doesn’t necessarily mean healthier, longevity expert says

More and more people are living to age 100. The average life expectancy at birth in the United States is about 76 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

But although we’re likely to live to an older age than our grandparents’ generation, that doesn’t mean we’re any healthier than they are.

It turns out that our “healthspans” just aren’t keeping up with our “lifespans”, Macpherson adds.

Lifespan is the amount of years you live between your birth and death, while healthspan is how long you’re living in good health without any issues.

“We’re living longer, but we’re kind of grinding our way through the last maybe 25% of our life with some form of health condition,” Macpherson says.

About 65% of people over the age of 60 are living with multiple health issues, he adds.

That is also correct but only "some" can still live long and "most" cannot.     Big Grin

Cardiovascular diseases are now the leading cause of death globally, and its largest contributing factors are the terrible "three highs" (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood cholesterol).

Hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia are becoming more prevalent in modern society, and the incidence of these conditions is also trending towards younger age groups.

What can we do to effectively prevent the three highs?

Let me introduce a method that could reverse the three highs, even if one has suffered from them for many years!
This is a very important lesson!

心脑血管疾病已成为人类死亡的 “头号杀手”,而最大的病因,就是可怕的三高!
高血压、高血糖、高血脂,在当今社会越来越普遍,患病趋势也逐渐年轻化。
我们该怎么做,才能有效预防高血压、高血糖、高血脂?
患有多年的三高,竟然通过一种方法,能轻松逆转?
