Longevity: 5 habits to slow down your ageing

Living longer is good. Living longer in great shape is the goal. The science of longevity comes down to a few pillars, accessible to everyone.

There's a difference between lifespan — the number of years you live — and healthspan, the number of years you live free from disease and loss of independence. It's the second one that truly matters. And it depends far more on your habits than on your genes.

1. Protect your sleep

Sleep is the number one lever for longevity. At night, your brain clears itself and your body repairs. Short, irregular nights speed up cellular ageing. Start there: see how to improve your deep sleep.

2. Move every day

Regular exercise is the closest thing to an anti-ageing pill. Gentle cardio for your heart, strength training to preserve lean mass as you age, and above all consistency over heroic sessions. Just a few thousand steps a day already makes a real difference.

3. Eating well, simply

No miracle diet: a plate full of plants, fibre and quality protein, low in fast sugars and ultra-processed foods. Regular meal times and a sensible eating window also help your metabolism.

4. Nurture your relationships and manage your stress

Studies on the world's longest-lived populations point to one strong common factor: the quality of social connections. On the flip side, chronic stress wears the body down. Learn how to manage it with our tips on manage your everyday stress.

5. Measure to last

What gets measured gets improved. Tracking your sleep, your heart rate variability, your activity and resting heart rate give you a dashboard of your trajectory. You see the real impact of your habits — and course-correct before problems set in.

Key takeaway: healthy longevity isn't a matter of luck, but of repeated habits. Sleep, movement, nutrition, connection, measurement: five pillars, every day.
