What are some tips to stay young?

“There is a difference between lifespan and healthspan. Lifespan is the number of years you’re on this planet, but healthspan is the number of years that you’re healthy—being able to live independently and partake in activities you enjoy,” says Jonathan Bonnet, MD, MPH, and Clinical Associate (Affiliated) Professor at Stanford University.

When I look around, I see that many people are more concerned with how long they’ll live, rather than how they’ll live all those years.

I know that if I want to keep doing the things I love in the next 15 or 25 years, I need to do more than just stay active—I need to TRAIN my body and mind.

Is using an ambulance really free in countries with universal healthcare, or are there hidden costs like deductibles that people should know about?

My grandmother passed away at 86. She was overweight, her legs hurt, and she barely got out of her chair during the last 15 years of her life.

Do at least three strength training sessions per week, focusing on functional movements. I particularly love kettlebells for these workouts, as almost every classic kettlebell exercise trains the whole body and improves strength endurance.

These rules have been working for me for the past six years, and today I feel stronger and younger than I did six years ago.

Why do Democrats keep calling Patriots/President Trump supporters "sore losers"? Do they purposefully ignore the massive fraud that took place, or genuinely think that there was zero fraud?

Avoid toxic people.

Include one high-intensity workout per week. For me, that’s usually 10 rounds of three minutes of hard running followed by three minutes of walking.

Walk or jog at an aerobic pace (long, slow runs) for at least an hour every day.

Why do my friends always say "yeah, we've heard this before" when I talk about something I'm passionate about?

Read fiction every day.

Both my grandmother and grandfather lived long lives, but let’s be honest—those lives were very different.

For me, staying young doesn’t mean appearance or the number of years lived—it’s about the ability to do daily tasks independently at any age and continue doing what you love. Going shopping, lifting your grandchildren, hiking in the mountains, skiing—basically, continuing to enjoy all the activities that make life fulfilling.

Spend quality time with my family.

My grandfather passed away at 85 and was active until his very last day. He walked a lot, cooked for himself, cleaned the house, and played with his great-grandchildren.

Starting from the age of 35–40, our muscle strength declines by 8–17%, and after 75, the decline speeds up even more. So, to stay “young,” I have to keep increasing my physical demands. If I want to be able to lift 15 kg off the ground when I’m 80, I need to lift around 40 kg today. If I want to walk 3 km per hour at 80, I need to be able to walk 5 km per hour today.

I’m 62 now, and I can easily climb 1,000 vertical meters in 2.5–3 hours, ski down steep slopes all day, and lift and carry my own body weight with ease.
