Living a Life of Longevity: Are We Looking For True ‘Health’ Or Instant Gratification?
Longevity is not sexy. Moderation in diet, exercise and sleep are what have kept cultures and civilisations in the East healthy for thousands of years, but they don’t necessarily add up to what we in the West currently pursue.
