No doubt you have come across people, both men and women, who are determined to live as long as possible. I recall one guy who said he was determined to live to 100. Well and good. He exercised regularly and for a 54 year old looked very fit... but he smoked nearly a pack of cigarettes per day. What use is a long life, if we are incapacitated by a body that lacks vigor and a mind that lacks clarity? Lets look at the current research on healthspan and how we can apply it to our daily lives.
In this course, we will consider how we can maintain our healthspan as we age.
