Peter Allison and Peter Bowes - school friends 50 years ago, now contemplating the next chapter in life - return with another conversation about the latest science that could help us achieve a longer healthspan.
In this episode we discuss:
Are our longevity goals too perfectionistic? We reflect on an earlier LLAMA podcast interview with Dr. Thomas Curran and how perfectionism can sometimes hinder success with diminishing returns - focusing too much on achieving goals rather than enjoying the journey.
A National Institutes of Health study, published Oct 13, 2023 in Aging Cell, suggests even a small reduction (12%) in daily calories is beneficial for wellness. In the study participants experienced muscle mass loss but maintained muscle strength, suggesting that calorie restriction can improve ‘muscle specific force.’
Do you have what it takes to live to 100? An article in The Wall Street Journal by Alex Janin suggests, “It’s Not Good Habits; Good genes matter more the older you get.” How does that impact our attitude towards exercise and other lifestyle hacks to try to optimize healthspan? The article suggests that genetics play a larger role in living past the age of 90, with approximately 50% of the ability to live to 100 being determined by genetics
