EP152: Simplifying Our Approach to Longevity with Marta Zaraska
Today I bring you my conversation with author and journalist, Marta Zaraska. We spoke about longevity and how we can actually apply our minimalist mindset when it comes to pursuing a long, healthy life. It\u2019s Marta\u2019s belief that the very same efforts that rejuvenate our bodies and help us live long also help us grow as people: nurturing relationships, developing better mental habits, becoming kinder, more empathic, more involved in the community.\xa0We become so fixated on miracle diets, miracle foods, miracle supplements etc. We skip gluten and invest in exercise gadgets. We swallow vitamins. We obsess about BMI. While healthy nutrition and physical activity are indeed important for health, there are things we all too often sacrifice that have an outsize impact on our centenarian potential. Friendships. Purpose in life. Empathy. Kindness. Volunteering. Science shows that these 'soft' health drivers are often more powerful than diet and exercise.\xa0Throughout the episode, we'll dive into more of what Marta has researched in her book.\n\nShow Notes for EP152: Simplifying Our Approach to Longevity\n\nEnjoy this Podcast?\nLearning how you can get rid of clutter and live an intentional and purposeful life has never been this simple.
