Imagine living far beyond the average life expectancy, but lacking the vitality and wellness that make life enjoyable. The prospect of a longer life can be appealing, but living with poor health means spending more time dealing with chronic ailments and lower overall well-being. The reality is that longevity without improved health involves managing chronic conditions, frequent doctor visits, and the potential loss of personal autonomy. Focusing on health and well-being is as important, if not more so, than simply seeking to add years to our lives.
