Recent discussions and research highlight the increasing possibility of significantly extended lifespans, with some experts predicting that 'longevity escape velocity'—where annual increases in life expectancy reach 12 months—could be achieved between 2029 and 2035. This would mean that aging would not increase the annual chance of death for those who maintain healthy habits and utilize new therapies. Living to 120 years is becoming an imaginable prospect. Southern Europeans are poised to become the longest-lived people in the world, attributed not only to diet and exercise but also to urban design and social life. Wealthier countries like Switzerland and Singapore are also among the top 20 countries for longevity. However, relatively poorer countries are making the cut as well. The correlation between GDP per capita and long life is evident, but southern Europe is outperforming the usual link between wealth and health. The importance of a healthy lifestyle, including not smoking, exercising, and maintaining a healthy diet, remains crucial at any age. Age reversal technology will likely be available by 2030, suggesting that prime years could still be ahead for many.
Diet and exercise are important for longevity, but so too are urban design and an active social life. Just look at Spain https://t.co/M3Th26tt0G 👇
Among the top 20 countries for living to a ripe old age are rich ones like Switzerland and Singapore, according to a health research organisation. But a geographic cluster of relatively poorer countries make the cut, too https://t.co/7tAJVvthLH 👇

AMAZING FUTURE: No matter your current age - whether you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, or even 80s/90s (with a bit of luck) your prime years are still ahead of you. Longevity escape velocity (LEV) will be here by ~2030, and age reversal technology will likely be…
This piece highlights that ageing is not only matter of diets or exercise. The social component of our lives has a great contribution to ageing. For that we may not need a pill. Why southern Europeans will soon be the longest-lived people in the world https://t.co/n00luuHq6P
Health and long life correlate unsurprisingly with GDP per capita. But southern Europe is outperforming the usual link between wealth and health https://t.co/zekJImCQiu 👇

“Once annual increases in life expectancy reach 12 months, we’ll achieve ‘longevity escape velocity’. For people diligent about healthy habits and using new therapies, I believe this will happen between 2029 and 2035—at which point ageing will not increase their annual chance of…
