FOREO\u2019s GP and aesthetics doctor, Dr. Raj Arora, busts some myths and facts about longevity<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What does longevity mean?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

At its most basic, longevity is simply a term for anything relating to life expectancy. <\/span>It refers to a human’s “maximum life span,” and the number of years any human lives for from birth to death.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to human longevity, there are a number of factors that affect our life expectancy<\/strong> and these traditionally fall into two categories. First, there are the things that we have no control over genetics, gender, and ethnicity. Then there are those things that we as individuals do have over. These are things like <\/span>diet<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>exercise<\/span><\/a>, hygiene, <\/span>sleep patterns<\/span><\/a>, and lifestyle choices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The factors that we can control <\/span>include our sleep patterns<\/strong>, level of physical activity (exercise), diet, and also our stress levels. Our individual behaviors, attitudes, choices, and lifestyle have quite a significant impact on our longevity. Many studies have suggested that less than 6 hours of sleep per night could reduce lifespan<\/strong>. Similarly, high levels of stress and reduced physical activity have also been shown to have a negative impact on longevity. In my private GP\/aesthetic clinic there is a lot of focus on well-being and self-care. I try to empower all of my patients into taking control of their own health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Living for longer<\/span><\/h2>\n

People want to live longer lives, especially if they can live a healthy meaningful longer life. Health and wellness practices and access to cutting-edge technology mean that there is a way to preserve good health and focus on feeling and looking good for your age<\/strong>. New practices and evidence for these are available more and more. Longevity practices focus on living a life focused on the well-being and ultimately that\u2019s what allows one to be able to continue with the things that they enjoy – sports, family time, traveling, and feeling well<\/strong>!<\/span><\/p>\n
