Adopting a healthy lifestyle, even at an older age, can significantly increase life expectancy and improve the quality of daily life.

“If an individual decides to start eating healthier at the age of 60, you can have eight healthy years to your life expectancy. If you start doing that at 80, you can add 3.4 four years of healthy life years.”

Emil Thorup suggests that the most effective approach to longevity is to remove unnecessary complexity and stressors from one's life rather than trying to balance them.

“So genius life for me is realizing that you won't get happy until you start taking things out. And once you have a nice amount of things, it can be exercise, it could be relationship, it can be work, and it can be hobbies. I don't care what it is.”
