TRIGGER WARNING: This podcast discusses fasting and its advice may not be suitable for anyone with an eating disorder. If you have an existing health condition or are taking medication, always consult your healthcare practitioner before going for prolonged periods without eating.\nEvery few months or so, my team and I put together a special compilation episode, which features some of the very best tips around a central unified theme. This week\u2019s episode is all about longevity.\n\xa0\nMany of us think we would not like to live into old age because we associate it with illness and discomfort. But this does not need to be the case. There are simple things we can all do that could increase our health span as well as our life span. As you will hear in this episode, decline is not inevitable as we get older and there are many factors under our control that can affect how we age - from how we exercise, to how much we sleep, how we use our brain and what and when we eat.\nYou\u2019ll also hear why compassion, community, purpose and friendship are important for our health and our lifespan. And why certain types of stress can actually be good for us and help us to live longer. Studies even show that our happiness, our mindset, and approach to life can be a factor in how long we live.\nFinally, you\u2019ll hear a clip about whether ageing should be seen as a disease that we can treat and a discussion about what ageing might look like in the future.\n\xa0\nI really believe that the changes we can make to improve our health and longevity are a lot more achievable than many of us think.\n\xa0\nI hope this episode helps you to find ways to implement some small daily habits that will help you to live a long, healthy, active and fulfilling life.\n\xa0\nThis episode includes clips from:\nEpisode 208 David Sinclair\nEpisode 147 Matthew Walker\nEpisode 112 Daniel Levitin\nEpisode 74 Felice Jacka\nEpisode 81 Satchin Panda\nEpisode 151 Laurie Santos\nEpisode 138 Julian Abel\nEpisode 167 Tommy Wood\nEpisode 128 Daniel Lieberman\nEpisode 67 Dan Buettner\nEpisode 197 James Nestor\nEpisode 206 Roger Seheult\nThanks to our sponsors:\n\xa0\nhttps://www.leafyard.com/livemore\n\xa0\nhttps://www.blublox.com/livemore\n\xa0\nhttps://www.athleticgreens.com/livemore\nOrder Dr Chatterjee's new book\xa0Happy Mind, Happy Life:\xa0UK version\xa0and\xa0US & Canada version\n\xa0\nShow notes available at\xa0https://drchatterjee.com/240\nDISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
