BrainCandy No. 109: What really is the largest organ in our body? And what does that have to do with Healthspan?


Listen Later

The dream of a long, healthy life: For decades, scientists

have been chasing a fascinating human dream: a longer life. In English, this concept is referred to as ‘lifespan’. But in recent years, an important realisation has emerged: What use is a longer life to us if we spend the
additional years sick and in need of care?

From lifespan to healthspan: Instead, a new and exciting

concept is now coming into focus: ‘healthspan’. This term describes the period of time in which we not only live longer, but above all healthier. It is about
enjoying the extra years in good health and actively shaping them.

And a new book offers an exciting approach that is likely to

be new to many people. This BrainCandy takes on the topic, because what is really our largest organ?

I hope you enjoy listening to this issue.
