Welcome to My Longevity
Our life journey is defined by time, our most precious asset. It’s important to make the best of what’s left – our longevity. Each of us is different, so we need to frame our own future and adapt it as things change. Using an average lifespan for our age can be very misleading, as explained here.
Babies born in developed countries are typically living about twice as long as 200 years ago. This is not because of evolution. It reflects what we have learnt since the Industrial Revolution began to significantly change our societies.
Time is our most precious asset and defines our life journey. Our goal is to make the best of the rest of our longevity. The first step is to frame our future usefully, but we are each different and average life expectancies are not much help. You can understand why here.
Life expectancies at birth have more than doubled in developed countries over the past 200 years. Evolution has not caused this. The Industrial Revolution caused major changes in what we have learnt and applied to managing our health better.
To plan the rest of our life journey we need to better understand our own time frame. Each of us is different, so to make the best of our longevity we need to understand what this can mean to our own life expectancy. As you can see here, average life expectancies are not helpful.
Doubling the life expectancies of babies in developed countries has been a consequence of the Industrial Revolution. We have applied what we have learnt to our understanding of health and how to influence it. Evolution has played no part in this change.
