Have you ever been told to act your age? There is a big difference between your lifespan and your healthspan and the two numbers rarely seem to match up. Though we all fear the aches and pains of growing older, people like Dr. Michael Fredericson prefer to view medicine as a way of optimizing healthspan instead of preventing death. Unfortunately, medicine has yet to provide us with a miracle drug that makes our bodies younger, but perhaps we can achieve similar results with proper self-care. So next time someone tells you to act your age, refuse and say you’re aiming for something better.
