Btw. if you don't know Siim you should. Check him on youtube or instagram.

Treating any disease is exponentially more difficult and expensive than preventing it.
➡️ 
The longevity leap is the closing of the gap between healthspan (the time you live without any morbidities/chronic diseases) and lifespan (the age at which you die).  
The global average gap is 9.2 years (64 years in good health, 73.2 years at death).
➡️
By increasing your healthspan, you increase your lifespan. 
Centenarians have the same diseases but much later and for much shorter periods.
If you have some chronic diseases (diabetes, heart problems, etc.) in your 30s and 50s, you are much more likely to live a shorter life.
➡️
(1) Delay chronic disease by trying to keep your health and biomarkers in the lowest risk category as long as possible.
(2) Delay biological aging by trying to maintain biological youth in terms of physical function, biomarkers, cognitive function, and sex hormones.

(The problem is that all of these biomarkers and physical functions decline with age, making it an uphill battle)
