Longevity is a hot topic these days. We’re obsessed with anti-ageing, as if getting older should be avoided or even reversed at all costs! Of course, we can’t do that and I’m not sure we’d really want to. But today’s guest brings valuable insights about what we can do, to make sure we age healthily and happily.
Professor Rose Anne Kenny is a medical gerontologist and Regius Professor of Physic and Chair of Medical Gerontology at Trinity College Dublin. She’s the Founding Principal Investigator of Ireland’s largest population study of ageing (TILDA) and the author of the international bestseller Age Proof: The New Science of Living a Longer and Healthier Life.
In today’s conversation, Professor Kenny reveals that while 20 percent of ageing is genetic and can’t be changed, 80 percent is epigenetic - in other words, we have the power to influence how quickly or how slowly we age.
Her number one recommendation is to have good quality friendships and relationships throughout our lives. Then follow a healthy diet, plenty of exercise, and reduce stress. So nothing too surprising, perhaps. But what might surprise you is just how far reaching the effects of these relatively simple measures can be - and how much what you do in your 20s can impact your 80s.
We talk about how to avoid metabolic syndrome and why it’s important to know key
biological markers throughout life. We take a deep dive into the benefits of community,
family, volunteering and inter-generational friendships, and discuss the undercurrent of
ageism that prevails in society.
Loneliness increased threefold during the pandemic, according to the TILDA study, and it’s
left some people feeling afraid to reconnect. Yet isolation is known to cause inflammation,
suppress immunity and speed ageing.
Professor Kenny believes we should flip convenience on its head when it comes to exercise.
Instead of taking the easy option that means moving less, we should look at the ‘harder’
options, such as taking the stairs or carrying heavy bags, as convenient ways to build activity
and strength training into our lives. She also shares excellent advice on sex and intimacy,
sleeping better, laughing more, and finding purpose all around you.
This really is a wonderful and practical conversation that is going to give you a variety of simple ways to play the long game when it comes to ageing. And the empowering message is that it’s never too early and it’s never too late to start.

Thanks buddy
Thank you,cheers.
I was living with friends in Sardenia for a while. Breakfast was small and sweet, lunch reduced with fresh ingredients, looooong siesta where everybody relax and the dinner was huge with many small plates of, sourceges, fish, a vegetable plate, pasta, meat and cheese and sweets at the end. I never saw them eating between meals.They said this only make tired. What I remember well where fresh herbals they allways used like sage, rosmary...I remember I get once lost in Sassari. The family was looking out for me and I was spotted by friends in the town. If you belong there you are NEVER alone or could hide. For the evening we allways met friends somewhere and you have tight bonds. Wounderful people and everybody was talking and listening in the same time. So much laughter and fun!
I went once for holiday the peoe were great,,,and unspoiled and tasty food
Recap , friendship quality, food, exercises, stress , shall add sleep, breathing, posture,clean water and clean air,exposure to natural sunlight earl in the day to tune our biological circadian clock.
I’m 76 and I totally agree. I take no meds,all my vitals are normal and I am great full for that. I will buy her book and share this video.
I am 24 year old doctor and aspire to be like you 😊
You don't need her book I guess.
What’s your secret??
I’m beginning to worry about myself because I love my alone time. But I do spend considerable time listening to people talk about stuff like this. I realized when I was 59 that I needed to move as much as possible and I’ve been a daily exerciser ever since. Picked up ping pong and dance a couple years ago. Love my time in acting class with a dozen other women - there’s my community! Almost 70 and loving life. Thank you for this conversation. ❤️
Do remember that introverts that love alone time, don't just love it they need it to stay sane. To much social interaction for a introvert is a source of stress. Extroverts which is most people feel uncomfortable with to much alone time and they need interaction to feel happy and fulfilled. As long as you desire alone time, alone time is exactly what you need.
I’m able to say that being alone is most definitely my best decision for my mental health.Saying, I’m no hermit I have a wonderful circle of friends and family that I get to spend quality time with. I know that I’m moving about driving and walking, traveling and participating in activities that make me happy. Ive been an extrovert over working busy teacher with responsibilities for family life, and my students I considered to be my family as well. I was constantly giving dinners for my friends and colleagues. I was spreading myself very thin. I retired and started to search my soul for the things that were missing from my busy working life. I’ve been doing writing short stories, going to the library- ohh the joy of sifting through books that I was putting off ‘until’ . I have a book club and find acquaintances there. But when I’m in need of recharging my mind and soul, I treasure the alone time of being in my sanctuary where I can feel confident and content with myself. I can write, think critically and clearly, and know how fortunate I am to have a place where I am able to just ‘be’ . I’m not afraid to be alone I know several people who are terrified of being alone and see it as a tragic. I visit those who are alone and don’t have family or friends so they need companionship and to know they are not forgotten. My solitude for allows me to appreciate everything I have . I truly love it. I am grateful every single day and I wish that everyone has choices that I have if they want it.

Rose Anne Kenny is not saying anything new, but how many times do we need to hear it?
Thanks, Rose Anne!
For most, I agree social connections are VERY important !! But for some of us... It's Hell !!! Being alone, is very different from being lonely ... #LifeLongLearner 😉
You're a wolf, then.
I am also a wolf but can mix socially as long as its with like minded souls.
I'm a bit tired of all these podcasts claiming social connections are the most important thing for longevity. This may be true for extroverts but it is massively different for introverts, some people are blissfully happy in their own solitude!
Absolutely agree. Some people “socialize” by picking up a paintbrush, or knitting needles. I know when I do this, the relaxation/thrill is palpable.
To be fair she was referencing large studies which related to population scale correlations of longevity.
Social connections means you've got someone to help you if you become sick or injured.
I love all of these mental stimulating conversations and the positivity and encouragement from listening.
The biggest thing you can do to potentially increase your lifespan is to do some fasting, which increases NAD+, telomere factors and much more for longevity! Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time, including in the heart and lungs.
Fasting increases T cell production and regenerates the thymus. T cells are vital in fighting cancer, autoimmune disease and infections but as we age the thymus stops making as many of them. Fasting releases stem cells, which then can become new T cells. Fasting also releases growth hormone, which regenerates the thymus itself, which aids this process!
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. This will also remove any spikes, whether natural or unnatural in origin!
Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body.
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
Fasting restores your circadian rhythm to normal over time.
Fasting increases nitric oxide release.
Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!
Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors.
After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system.
Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer.
Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue!
The obese will lose extra tissue like loose skin while fasting, but the skinny or frail will have increased growth hormone release than the obese, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness.
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate.
The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.
What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building.
Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS.
Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil.
One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! This reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function.
Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting.
Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose.
Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle damaged proteins and foreign matter such as viruses. It will can kill cancerous and senescent cells
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention!
Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with.
Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer.
A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. They also help with dementia and many other issues even if you take them while not fasting!
Glycine and trimethylglycine can also be useful supplements while fasting that won't break ketosis and have many benefits.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

My community tab will always contain an updated version of this list of fasting benefits. I also have playlists on fasting and health topics.
Dear, I'd say u need to drink more water. The skin underneath your eyes needs some liquid nourishment...
Dr Michael Greger advises only do water only fast 48 hours and any longer should be medically supervised. Loss of microbiome, electrolytes,... FMD is something I'd try though. I do fast overnight. Eat before 7pm. Eat breakfast mostly 11am but sometimes earlier if going out.
WOW, thanks for the book !! Yes, fasting is good for us 👍
Hope you enjoyed it!@@jasminejones9937
"dr" greger is a quack, and not a real doctor. If you don't go through an internship just medical school then all you have is a couple undergrad level chemistry classes that don't give you any ability to discern science from bs.@@skippy6462
Thank you both for the awesome discussion. The biggest takeaway from the podcast is that aging well is largely within our control, with lifestyle choices such as maintaining strong social connections, a healthy diet, regular exercise, and a positive attitude towards aging being pivotal to extending longevity and improving quality of life.
What a magnificent podcast to hear! Two very knowledgable, charismatic and humane professionals.
I do very well with social isolation. There is nothing better.
Yes, stay away from lunatics.. best cure for sanity..
I have a conflict with wanting friends and socialization and reducing my stress
😂
This is really a wonderful podcast. Prof. Kenny is a delight to listen to. Plus, there is a lot of chemistry between Rangan and his guest. Nothing I haven’t heard a few times before but Rangan has the ability to “bring it out better” by applying his own emphasis. One of his best. Thanks to Prof Kenny and Dr Chattagee
Mm
As an exiled Irish woman, I appreciate hearing a familiar accent.
Exiled!? Come back 😂
I watched the whole talk (in pieces throughout a week) and I find it enlightening. This has been one of the best podcasts I've ever listened to on this topic. Thank you @drchatterjee for keeping us informed with this top-notch, yet down to earth, scientist. Thank you for this info that I value so much to be able to age wisely.
Fantastic interview, loved this ❤❤❤
Thank you very much! A great interview, especially about the socio-economic factors, besides the things you know about nutrition and exercise 🙏🖖
I listen to a lot of Peter Attia's podcasts and read his brilliant book Outlive. He was recently on another podcast (might have been the Zoe one) and was asked some quickfire questions. One was something like "what's the biggest myths in health/longevity" and his response was that we have little agency over our outcomes. They are massively in our control, you see so many people talk about genes as if they're destined to impact us. Genes are probabilistic, not deterministic. Even if you have a gene associated with a higher risk of a given disease you can still act to lower that risk overall.
Just be proactive, take control and you will have better outcomes.
Yes! Biochemically, genes are either on or off. Which do you choose!?! 🎉
What about if the person's over 80? They NEVER mention that all your friends die, your relations die, your husbands die. I make new friends, just on a short Uber trip I chat with the driver, but NEARLY ALL MY FRIENDS ARE DEAD( I'm Disco Baby survivor, now a Health Hacker, follow Dave Asprey.) Practice Keto, Intermitant Fasting & Fasting, exercise.Meditate, Breathing Wim Hof.
But do you really want to live that long? It's not like you get a prize. In fact, what comes next may be even so much better, that you find yourself wishing you had gotten there sooner.
@@natashamudford4011so what’s the alternative if you choose not to live past 70?? Die by your own hands so you don’t have to live past your 80s??? Your comment is nonsensical sir/ma’am.
@@girlanonymous go to Canada, they'll make it happen. Although I think Oregon or Washington State also are getting in on the let-us-help-you-die gig.
@natahamudford4011 Most people don’t just die at a certain age. Most experience years and years of poor health and true suffering. Increasing lifespan with the purpose of increasing healthspan (number of healthy years of life) is the goal.
Very inspiring 👍
Im an 80 year old grandma (from Dublin living in Lausanne) and my days are spent running around taxying my granddaughters, cooking and cleaning up after meals, running.my own home and garden. It keeps me young.😅
Whoah.. you set up my goal 20 years from now
@@kartini5341 👍
Great podcast. Enjoyed every moment. Thanks
Excellent discussion! Thank you both❣️
Yet eating well is most stressful when out with friends who want you to be fun and indulge. So hard to balance eating well and spending time with others.
Love this podcast. Thank you.
In Australia the treatment of older people during Covid was awful. The lockdowns did not prevent waves of covid through nursing homes. It just meant older people suffered and died without their friends and relations
So true! It was tragic! I know from my own experience the elderly people didn’t want to be locked down in order to avoid Covid 19. They wanted to live their life despite it. They knew that at this age anything can kill them. They just wanted to continue their social and free life.
It happened in America too.
Indonesia too.
Hungary also

Nice to listen to such a smart lady
Great interview!
love these podcasts useful information lots of wisdom
Thank you for the sharing your Knowledge for FREE 💕
I’m 71 and go to the gym everyday and do an hour of aerobic exercise..don’t drink or smoke …I regard exercise as a magic pill..lowers blood,pressure and relieves anxiety and depression…BMI 0f 21 but you must put effort in to get fit as you get older..Ive notice fewer older,people in the U.K. gyms than gyms in the USA
To quote longevity expert Dr. Peter Attia - "if the benefits of exercise could be given in a pill it'd be the greatest medical intervention in history". It is the #1 preventative measure for every chronic disease most likely to kill us.
Excellent, thank you so much.
This is a particularly informative broadcast!! Thanks so much to both of you.
I love this and feel parents need to realise what impact lifestyle has on their children .Not just diet but the whole body mind as well.Also as a 69yr old how i can improve my life and take control of my health choices.
Very enlightening!
This was an absolutely wonderful exchange between two interested, interesting physicians! Thank you both. (But soooo many adverts!!)
I could listen to Professor Kenny speak all day! I love the focus on not just food and exercise, but also the importance of friendship, family and purpose. Thank you.
The healthiest 68-year-old I knew when I was working ALWAYS took the stairs, and his office was on the 6th floor.
Thank you for sharing the interview. What a super testimony about the 126 yr old french lady who was so positive & was a Christian - this may belp explain her attitude as a Christian doesn’t fear anything least of all death as they are promised by the Lord Jesus Christ that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord God. Whoever believes on the Lord Jesus will be saved from separation from God. He died so that we may live.
I pray that anyone who reads this has ears to hear and eyes to see. Praise the Lord Jesus 🙏🏻🕊
This was the best pod ever about longevity. A wholistic approch with detailed explanations on every aspect. I will spread it !
I'm whole food plant based diet without salt oil or sugar. Exercise regularly by weight bearing, pilates and fast walking. Stress is much harder to control .... this world isn't good for stress control. Wishing all the people in the world peace. If only we could get rid of greed.
They should have talked about this - whole-food plant-based nutrition - as it has radical implications for planetary health which ultimately tops everything
I'm all for whole foods plant based diet, but virgin olive oil is good for you, and obviously natural oil from avocado, seeds, nuts and tofu/soy
I am super healthy at 77. I do keto, lots of grass fed meat and intermittent fasting. My blood pressure and cholesterol are spot on.
@@carol137 you can also be very healthy on a plant based diet. Why choose taking away a life of someone who doesn’t want to die if you can be healthy on plants? That’s the point of being a vegan
Me too and organic as much as possible I take quarter tea spoon Himalaya salt
Love this.
Thank you.
Great first question!!
Yes! I'm 57, I was really feeling I was hitting peak quality of life the last few years - until I did something to my hip which has stopped me running, or walking - hopefully its just a blip.
I used to be an MRI tech. Only a handful of patients in their 70’s came in still moving strongly. All still exercised. I would be nosy & ask how they did it with few or no injuries. One man in his 80’s said something i’ve never forgot. He still ran half marathons. He said, he NEVER followed a schedule. If he felt great at the beginning of a jog, he then went for a long run. If he felt kinda tired or achy, he kept it short & returned home. He listened to his body. And one other thing-- 90-95% of my patients with true injuries, were ALL trying to improve their time. ALL. Rather than enjoy the joy of it, they ruined it by getting competitive with themselves or wanting to be in a different time group. My advise, put on a good song in ear pods or no music, go Zen. But get out in nature, let your run or walk be a spiritual experience, not a way to punish the machine that moves us. Hope you recover & are out there soon💥
Don't give up get a little bike it's only small put on floor Nd push through ,it won't hurt hip ,,swim no weight on hip ,rebounder walk all helps
Bouncing up down clears lymphs ,,or one of the machines, like the cricket player uses,, that moves blood around to help you,,,,,,,pumps you're leg veins
I injured my foot at that age - was told it was arthritis for nine months. No MRI done. It was two stress fractures eventually found on an MRI. Put me in a boot that stressed the fractures for seven more months. I adjusted boot and began to heel. Atrophy had set it. Long time on a knee scooter. Regaining strength hard to do. Tore meniscus in that knee that was on the scooter. More atrophy getting knee health back. Tore hip muscles due to weakness in hips and upper body - no strength to stop a slip in water that twisted torso. Doc said my hips were fine - took a year to get proper testing - MRIs - to see tears in both hips and stenosis in back that was not there a year before. Moral - get an MRI, a good one. Be your own advocate. Get health providers who are inquisitive! ❤ My doc sent me to the chiropractor. The chiropractor got the MRIs done. 🤷♀️
Be young and never give up❤❤❤
Wow amazing 2 hrs
Wonderful guest. Humans have gotten too far away from our natural state. People work many hours a day and THEN are told they have to exercise, lift weights, socialize, get good sleep. It's stress. We are all so stressed out.
Totally agree. Work and commuting take up so much time, plus basic living needs. So as true as this video may be it is yet more pressure.
Agree totally, people are frazzled sometimes running from one job to another and working shifts trying to have a family life paying child minders and keeping up with the cost of staying alive crisis. If they are lucky they fall asleep or they can't sleep only to do the same again next day school runs , date nights , keep fit cook real food . Hoping the mold in the broken down shacks they live in doesn't kill them. While trying to keep connected be social and finish paying student loans.
Doesn't need rocket science to know that its not getting any better for certain people.

Why are there no podcasts that address the anti ageing topic of people who have experienced trauma and how they can reverse any damage done later in life? Most people cannot control the trauma done to them, but is there any way to reverse or get better odds so as not to compound the negative effects left by trauma on degenerative illness as one ages?
I would say the single greatest anti ageing that was never discussed is social support by community. (and it is more than just volunteering as she mentioned!)And that isn't just friendships or relationships, but rather how USEFUL one is made to feel in society, how one's immediate community can help and integrate older people as a vital thriving part of community. We should be using the wisdom of older people instead of making them feel like once they have bred/had a family and worked all their lives they have no function and use so should wait to get old and die. This is all wrong. I think societies that show that older people have a significant role in society and are not surplus to requirements, not only live longer, but happier, healthier and with greater purposes.
Ok this I agree and makes totally sense and is of value. 👍
@@db5037 Research has been done on this and actually support and even exercise trumps diet. It has been proven that people with not 100% perfect diets (as long as it's not junk food all the way) can last much longer into old age as long as there is balance in their lives and they have social support. I doubt with an excellent diet and no social support anyone would be untouched of disease into old age. I would say the exception is if the other areas in life were working well. The body is an ecosystem that requires balance for longevity. In modern life this is hard and with people having had so much trauma in their past @db5037 I can understand why you would say socialising is more of a hassle than a comfort. This seems to be the response I have heard from people with a trauma past in the sort of work I do. Still I would opt for balance, so if someone doesn't have the support thing down at least make sure exercise, sleep, diet, life purpose and emotional hygiene is sorted and in balance.
I've long hated the western attitude to old people. You're past it so lets hide you away. In other cultures older people are revered, for wisdom not just as a free resource. Much of the recent research on healthy aging is to make older people go back to work.
How old is prosessor herself to start with?
I disagree regarding the magic cutoff of 120/80 and below being normal blood pressure. I'm glad she's addressed distributions and individual directive.
As an individual, I've always felt best with a BP between 130/85 and 140/90. Docs have always put me on meds, even to the point of dizziness. I went off them and feel great.
Another initiative for being content with a higher BP is being diagnosed with glaucoma. Overcorrection of BP has been implicated in glaucoma development, since there is an inverse relationship between BP and IOP (Intra Ocular eye Pressure).
I have old friends that are very difficult to spend time with and in fact cause me more stress due to their need to control and defend old ways of doing things . All the rest I agree with. I would say routines that allow you to develop your interests and meet new people . Work at staying current and informed so people will enjoy your company. Weed the garden of friends. The flowers are beautiful.

My formula, as someone in my early 70’s is: frequent, strenuous exercise to include strength training and cardio, no alcohol or drugs, intermittent fasting, strictly limit junk food and sweets, adding supplements and being with upbeat, positive, non self-absorbed, neurotic people. Married over 50 years, grandparent and feeling and looking decades younger than I am, as told by everyone who meets me. I can stay on a dance floor for 3 hours, clean my own house and am slim, very fit and strong. Mentally I am in my late 30’s. Been taking care of my health my entire adult life. I might add that I am in excellent physical health and take no prescription meds.If it sounds like I am tooting my own horn, I know that very few women my age are like me. I have not met one yet.
Brilliant

I want to share this with others, but bringing attention to some key points. For some reason, the transcript isn't available, so I can't search across the 2 hours for those key points. So far, key points are: (i) quality social relationships (don't worry about quantity); (ii) diet and exercise; and (iii) manage stress. I wanted to point people that I know to the spot in the podcast where it is explained that days of minor improvements in lifestyle can reverse biological age by 3+ years. I'm surprised that sleep doesn't rank among the top 3 key points, though I suppose that one can argue that it is overlaps with stress. It is, however, a limited overlap in that many more things cause stress than sleep.
It's hard to represent the relationship between sleep and stress in a Venn diagram. Poor sleep can be one of *many* causal factors for stress, suggesting that much of the "stress" circle doesn't overlap with sleep very much. When sleep deprived, however, it's hard to experience any well being at all, suggesting that the overlap between sleep and stress should occupy a lot of the stress circle. It all depends on whether you're trying to visually represent the cause or the effect. In the reverse direction, stress often degrades sleep, but by far is not the only factor. Others include poor sleep hygiene, use of alcohol or caffeine, etc.
I guess that the difficulty in diagramming the relationships between many factors with complex and nonlinear relationships is that is a lot more complicated than the set theory that Venn diagrams are meant to represent. It's a shortcoming of the reductionist approach that science is often limited to. This is not an argument that political debate should or can replace science. It's an argument that they have to compliment one another.

I dislike the premise that aging is wrong or bad. It's normal! I'm older today than I was yesterday. They should reframe it to how to be healthy, and avoid disease. And aging itself is not a disease though our culture would say otherwise.
I think they mean, they need to be aware of a low sugar and low carbs to stay well as we get older,,,,I'd not thought,that carbs turn to sugar,,and I was eating to much sugar and drank stopped fats ,,puddings think I was on way to diabetes, and insulin and metabolic disease,,then found I had cancer, ,,,had probs with sleep and also had contact with chemicals,
I think she is simply reframing the negative images of aging to the powerful possibilities of a positive perception of aging
Unlistenable to because of the ads. Gave up after first ad when i remembered the frequency of ads with all his interviews.
I think the importance of social connection is likely going to depend for a huge part also on individual levels factors, such as personality. The right amount of social interaction is way too much or too little for someone else depending on, among others your level of extraversion/introversion. Some people might need 6 close friends that they see ecery few days or so, others only 1 or 2 that they see once a month.
Such a big disconnect between the medical system and this level of research... who taps into this awesome data and knowledge so that we benefit as society!?
I thought this was Harry Redknapp and now I can't unsee it!
Do introverts suffer during isolation/cocooning? Or are they happier?
I take my BP in the morning, its about 150/90 , then
Both too high. Ideally- 110 over 65.
They have put it down in old days it was 140 /,90 so is that to sell more products and resources how statins are now being not pushed as the /%is not Brill and side effects are not good ,,
@@lynlawley8903 I would say yes always do your own research before taking any prescribed meds. Everything has side effects.
Interesting interview- the twenty something students tapping into the $ potential of longevity studies. Hopefully people will learn and benefit from this.😅

What an absolutely wonderful beautiful lady. Her eyebrows though
I'm curious about how important drinking water is and how much per day is ideal.
But you could do with do ing a jug to take out the chemical s for your health
It is generally 1-2 litres per day (including food liquids) but that also depends on how much time you spend outside, exercise or if you are sick etc.. the balance of electrolytes determines your retention of water..
What’s the reasoning of taking blood pressure sitting & standing?
Could someone explain that,
Please
No. 1 is stop smoking.
A few minutes in, surprised that sleep quality/quantity was not mentioned as a top factor.
UK government not interested in healthier population especially as we age because of privatisation. There's money to be made. And they don't want elderly people on pensions for decades.
Friendship is not as important to some as it is to others. Many people are more happy with their own company. And others would prefer to care for dogs and cats than people.
I like to be with me....i cannot carry any more endless stories...of what was happening. When the cow saw the first eastermorning.....i laugh a lot.

Honestly we all know this. It's not lack of knowledge. It's simply people don't do it, or at least not rigorously enough.
It very much is lack of knowledge as well. So many people think genes dictate everything and there's little we can impact through lifestyle. Perhaps this is because they can't be bothered to act so seek an excuse to justify their lack of motivation. But certainly many people seem to believe it despite how ridiculous it is under any scrutiny.
Much of this is pseudoscience.. people have no idea about this at all, because common sense isn't actually common.. this is what people say when they have completely no idea about aging..
Almost 80, DVS & children passed (all but one who chooses not to know me??) anymore l don't care. Friends passed or have moved pn with whatever. Any advice appreciated. ✨
These are things within our control, but life isn't all about what's in our control. Many ppl have dysfunctional and destructive families they cannot abandon or walk away from or jobs they stick at cos there's no alternative or ekderly relatives who are so unwell or children who have issues etc.These factors or aspects have an effect on mind and health, no matter how much you eat well and exercise well. They also feature more in middle age.
You are right - life gets in the way or love/caring/nurturing dominates self-care especially when you are a woman. Sometimes it all collides - menopause/teenage children and terminally ill parents in my case. Caused a chronic sleep disorder that I still struggle with. Giving relatives your home landline number (as Dr. Chatterjee advises) doesn't work in the middle of the night when crises hit! It needs to be near the bedside so it wakes you up.
@@bea5314 hope you het through these challenges 💪
Great episode but I really object to AG1. It is so expensive, people would be better spending that money on real food. How can taking a supplement in the form as such a highly processed product be beneficial? Those people in Sardinia would have a grand old laugh at people stirring up their green powder to drink.
But why did you wait until I was retired to tell me all this? I needed to know this fifty years ago!
Nothing has changed, you didn't miss anything.. these people think they are going to live forever..
It's never late to make changes
Our body is amazing
40 years old seems a bit young for menopause. Not saying it doesn't happen but if it is maybe we should be looking closer at hormones and how to fix them.
Happened to me at 38
Stress can cause early menopause.
It can also be genetic. Both my mom and I had menopause in our 40’s.
It's quite common on 40s
Would appreciate time stamps or broken up into parts. Many many people walk away from 2 hour videos
His videos are usually too long. Time stamps would at least be very helpful

Agree!!!!!!!!!
I'm 68. One thing that I would recommend to anyone is Yoga. Great for balance, flexibility, a stronger core plus the sessions require a mindful state which helps with anxiety etc.
Note that I broke my L arm as a child and further injured it in an industrial accident as a youth and have heavily favored my R hand my whole life.
It seems the intrinsic nature of equilibrium in yoga has somehow shifted me from an 80/20 bias to something near 60/40. Its like neural pathways have been reconnected. Neat huh?

Stress is before diet hands-down. Especially if your diet is crappy, stress + crappy diet = trouble.
So its all about
Message for Dr. Chatterjee - wouldn't it be wonderful if you could provide 'a leaflet' available to everyone through GP surgeries nationwide? Aimed at 40 or 50 year olds initially. To include your top tips Relax/Eat/Move/Sleep. Not everyone has the time to research lifestyle goals and not everyone can afford one of your books. I have also sent a message through your website page. Hoping to receiving a reply one way or the other. Thank you for reading this Diana
I guess the main issue would not be designing the leaflet and getting it printed, but spreading it out to the community. If it is not addressed by people in power, it will be oppressed. It is not benificial for corporations to get everyone healthy, and that is where to issue lies, otherwise it would be history. In todays world it would be seen and anarchistic behaviour, as it does not go in line with rules and regulations (especially when you are a doctor) Politicians must make changes, not doctors!!!
I like the holistic aspects of this video but would like to emphasise that you could've taken it much further within the length of time that you gave to the topic. Our Health as individuals is increasingly being determined by the health of the planet. In the next 10 years on the current trajectory we may see dramatic stresses on individual health, not just in poor countries in the global south who are already feeling huge impacts due to lifestyle habits and our industrial system, but also in long-term industrialised countries like the UK, USA etc. In this respect, the biggest elephant in the room is the role of animal agriculture driven by diet, which I believe was completely underplayed: theguardian environment avoiding-meat-and-dairy-is-single-biggest-way-to-reduce-your-impact-on-earth.
And "I eat a lot more fish" doesn't send the right message at all. We don't need fish for Long chain omega threes. The fishing industry is wrecking the ocean life.
The cognitive dissonance in our cultural belief system that leads us to objectify certain species of animals (cows, pigs, chickens etc) and Love others is the root cause of possibly the biggest environmental disaster which can be rectified fairly simply. Obviously Whole Foods and variety is the way to go.

"A similar picture emerges for other livestock: up to 39 percent of all dairy cows suffer from painful hoof diseases. Inflammation of the udder was found in every second dairy cow in an organic barn. Up to 97 percent of all laying hens have broken bones - in cages as well as in organic farming.
Eggs, milk and meat from these sick animals still end up in supermarkets in large numbers, without consumers being aware of this."

40:00 Educational attainment CORRELATES to better personal outcomes. Evidence that it drives them is sorely lacking. Sending everyone to college is, in fact, likely socially and for most individuals, personally, disastrous.
I find it hard to believe that people's quality of life continues to improve from age 50 to 84 in the UK.
I think you have more accumulated wisdom and are able to devote more time to take care of yourself. The younger years have more stress and work to earn money to pay bills
No that doesn't sound feasible.
Grabbing a doctor or a professor while stuck at home alone at aged 22 or 62, male or a female. Getting to 40 without a blood test, three kids called siblings. Sorting out how to be old, my kids have the wrong blood tests. Nutrient guides, the more alcohol the better, particularly in Australia. When you migrate from Ireland in 2024, you feel as old as an Indian migrant that came here in 1974.
