[Fortune Well] Whether it’s a morning cup of tea, a daily meditation, or a call to your closest friend, your daily habits impact your health and happiness.
While Dr. Peter Attia, author of New York Times bestseller Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity, said there’s no "silver bullet" to increase one’s health span and life span, there are still a variety of longevity-linked habits that may work for you to stave off age-related disease and early mortality.
"People have so much more agency over this than they will ever believe if they don’t take the step to educate themselves on it," Attia tells Oprah Winfrey this week for a series called The Life You Want on Oprah Daily. "A lot of people think, ’Well, this is my lot in life’...It’s not the case at all."
Exercise, nutrition, sleep, and managing emotional health by engaging with others and trying new hobbies are all associated with a longer, healthier life.
For Attia, moving without distraction and staying outside is his secret sauce. |
