Whealthspan: More Years, More Moments, More Money - Scott Fulton

This book is about capturing opportunities before they slip through our fingers. It places a flashlight in our hands to help guide us through the noise-filled darkness of media hype, outdated myths, and a medical system designed for purposes other than our proactive health and longevity. Life's distractions are daunting and unrelenting, but as knowledge sometimes does, it helps separate the chaff from the wheat. At the core, our life stories are about connections with our phys- ical, biological, emotional, and cognitive selves and, most certainly, connections with others and our life experiences. We'll explore what goes into supporting those connections, including the signaling be- tween our cells, and even with themselves. If human longevity could be distilled down to just one simple thing, it would be preserving our connections. n#1 New Release offers a shot at life's Triple Crown: Money, Health, and Time to pursue the things we enjoy. Fulton's analysis of more than 55 million Americans over 90 years is revealing in many ways. Achieving the top 10% of lifespan is well within reach for almost everyone, but most will needlessly throw tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars away in hard-earned equity and fall far short of their active longevity potential. Thankfully, life's Triple Crown doesn't rely on longevity genetics, bio-hacks, or unrealistic diet and exercise regimes. It simply requires looking behind the noise, myths, and confusion of Western life and discovering what a medically proven healthy lifestyle balance really means. A 60-year-old can add 11 more years (42% bonus years) by reaching the 90th percentile. What are proven ways to get on that trajectory? Since 2010, for every American living longer, another is dying younger, which is why life expectancy has flatlined. If you're relying on family and peers for comparison, you're likely in for an unwelcome surprise. Atherosclerotic (ischemic) heart and stroke is 3.8 times higher than the next leading cause of death (Alzheimer's) in adults age 65+ and is largely preventable. Do you know how to actively manage these risks while simultaneously de-risking many other common chronic diseases? nThe longevity industry has baited us with anti-aging hacks and supplements that are great for sales, but the human data overwhelmingly says those strategies are not working. A decades-long slide now leaves the U.S. outside the top 50 countries for life expectancy. Every other country has made steady progress<
