How to add 11 disability free years to your life. These sources collectively examine the topic of human longevity, focusing on the interplay between lifestyle, genetics, and societal factors in achieving a long and healthy life. One set of articles from Real Simple, the World Health Organization (WHO), and Healthline highlights numerous healthy habits—including physical activity, quality sleep, healthy eating (like plant-based diets), strong social connections, and stress management—as critical components for increasing lifespan and quality of life, drawing comparisons to practices in "Blue Zones" where people frequently live to 100 or more. This is supported by an academic review that synthesises literature showing a clear association between regular physical activity and increased life expectancy. Furthermore, one source discusses the genetic contributions to longevity, noting that while genetics accounts for an estimated 25% of life span variation, lifestyle choices are paramount in the early decades of life. Finally, an Australian policy document, National Strategy for an Ageing Australia, addresses the broader societal implications of an ageing population, discussing the need for economic planning, age-friendly infrastructure, and health strategies to support continued well-being among older citizens.
