What’s the Difference Between a Lifespan and a Healthspan
Aging is not inevitable. We can do a lot about aging, and the most important thing to do is increase the healthspan. Our lifespan is about 115 years, but we often die before the age of 80 due to suffering from diseases. We have about 35 more years that we could scientifically understand better. It’s all about health, not diseases.
