If death is one of the only certainties in life, then surely it is logical to want to delay it for as long as possible? The quest for eternal life<\/strong> has been a perennial one, recorded in myths since antiquity. Science has thrown billions of Dollars at the challenge. We first wrote on the topic in 2016<\/a>. \u201cThe Economist\u201d featured the subject on its cover<\/a> recently. However, perhaps the most worthwhile thing many readers can do is obtain a copy<\/a> of \u201cOutlive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Published in March this year and written by Dr Peter Attia<\/a>, a Canadian physician, \u201cOutlive\u201d (which was recently gifted to your author by a generous colleague) provides a framework for how to live longer<\/strong>. At the heart of the work is the concept of what Dr Attia calls \u2018Medicine 3.0.\u2019 In contrast to current approaches to healthcare, under Attia\u2019s framework, the most significant emphasis is placed on prevention rather than treatment<\/strong>. There is also a clear recognition of each person as an individual and a robust assessment of risk. Such a world view is consistent with the thesis we have had since 2012<\/a> about the personalisation of healthcare<\/strong> and a shift in the paradigm from reactive to pre-emptive<\/strong> healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the appeal of \u201cOutlive\u201d is that much of its advice can be seen as common sense. Attia makes the case for how individuals should include exercise regimes<\/strong> (particularly focusing on improving stability) and better eating habits<\/strong> into their lifestyles. The latter point has been addressed significantly in our own work<\/a> since at least 2014. Attia also highlights the importance of sleep<\/strong> and devotes the final chapter of the work to why mental health matters<\/strong> as much as physical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is hard to disagree with Attia\u2019s assertions, albeit that they appear to be written from the perspective of someone who can afford <\/em>to make better lifestyle choices. Not everyone has such (financial) ability. Governments, in our view, should play a more proactive role in education and the taxation of certain food stuffs could also be helpful. Optimists will also hope that scientific progress will advance. The well-documented<\/a> success of anti-obesity drugs such as Wegovy suggest one way forward. Ultimately, evolution may be our biggest headwind<\/strong>. All human bodies contain trillions of cells in need of constant rejuvenation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
