Frequently asked questions

What's the single best longevity habit?

If forced to pick one: daily movement you enjoy. But the honest answer is the stack of basics done consistently, not one magic habit.

Do I need expensive supplements?

Mostly no. A few basics (like vitamin D if low) aside, the evidence for expensive longevity supplements is weak. Spend on food and movement first.

Is longevity habits over 50 safe after 50?

For most healthy adults, yes when progressed slowly and stopped at sharp pain. If you have a medical condition, check with a clinician before changing training.
