In today’s email we cover the week’s health news including GLP-1 receptor agonist use learnings, how to make climbing stairs easier, and a long list of longevity tips to implement.

Are you worried about becoming frail as you get older? It is never too soon to start preparing to be a very robust 90-year-old! Later, you’ll wish you’d started sooner, after all.
But for many of us, going to the gym, or even a Pilates class, can seem like more hassle than it’s worth. Today’s sponsor Reverse Health is offering Pilates from the comfort of your own home, with a program specifically made for women over 40 (there’s even a 28-day program designed just for us), and then further tailored to your specific goals:

Your knees are usually not the problem, even if it feels like they are:

Resistance training is essential for many aspects of health, especially as we get older.

Just one example: strong muscles mean strong bones, and strong bones can mean the difference between:

(This writer knows which category she definitely wants to be in; how about you?)

However! That doesn’t mean that our life has to look like a Rocky movie training montage.

In fact, you don’t even need to go to the gym, and can do it from the comfort of your own home, which we will assume comes equipped with at least one floor, at least one wall, and at least one screen of some kind.

Reverse Health are proud to present:

Yesterday we asked you to choose between pinto beans and red lentils—it was close, but we picked the pinto beans (click here to read about why), as did 16% of you!

Now for today’s choice:

Click on whichever you think is better for you!

PS: if you’re unsure whether today’s Pilates program is right for you… That’s what the 1-minute quiz is for! It’ll ask some questions about you and your goals, the better to guide you.

And of course sometimes in life we must ask the important question of: why not?

This book is, notwithstanding the title, less a formula and more a long list of actionable things one can do to improve one’s healthy longevity, which list is then summarized at the end in a chapter entitled “101 science-backed methods for increasing your lifespan and achieving long-term wellness”.

We see the usual items of understanding what causes/promotes aging, and thus how to fight that with diet, exercise, rest, and healthy habits in general (e.g. fasting, hot/cold therapy, vagus nerve stimulation, breathing exercises, etc), as well as medical practices (e.g. allergy testing, stem cell injection, blood glucose monitoring, etc), plus complementary therapies that have at least some scientific backing.

The style is a little “salesy” despite not actually selling anything beyond ideas, but it’s all sound advice. There are short-form in-line citations, there’s a full bibliography at the back.

Bottom line: if you’d like a lot of healthy longevity tips packed into a 200-page book, this is it.
