Million-dollar longevity clinics, IV drips, personalised genome sequencing – the quest for a longer, healthier life often feels like a science fiction movie with an exclusive ticket price.
But as the wellness industry chases expensive, hi-tech immortality, longevity expert Dr Eric Topol, one of the world’s most cited medical researchers, argues the real secret to a longer, healthier life is not hidden in a vial or a complex algorithm – it is surprisingly ordinary.
In his book Super Agers: An Evidence-based Approach to Longevity, Topol, who chairs the department of translational medicine at Scripps Research in the US, says that activities we can perform in our daily lives have been proven to extend our lifespan.
