The longevity is definitely one of the most important trends emerging in recent years.
With the gradual and constant aging of the population, especially in Western countries, more and more people's attention is shifting to how to age well.
Sacrosanct desire.
The risk, however, is that of over-optimization: endless lists of supplements, immaculate nutritional plans, exaggerated training protocols, cold therapy, hot therapy, lukewarm therapy 😅
All these interventions certainly play a role in marginally improving our lives, but we must not forget that in addition to Life-span (life expectancy) and Health-span (healthy life expectancy) there is also... Play-span (the duration of life in a state of joy and functional capacity to play and have fun).
We cannot reduce our lives to an equation or a list of health parameters and biological markers to optimize (with AI, of course...).
There is an inner universe that we must take care of and that no supplement or sauna cycle will improve if we are not willing to live with more audacity and cultivate our dreams, even if at first glance they do not always seem like the most optimized choice in the immediate term.
The quality of our life is determined by the stories we tell ourselves:we might as well create memorable ones.
