Traditionally focused on staying free of disability and disease , healthspan comprises physical , mental , and emotional health .
Physical health involves strength , endurance , and freedom from pain . Mental health includes cognitive abilities . Emotional health , unlike physical and mental health , doesn ’ t inevitably deteriorate with age and encompasses emotional regulation and happiness . The goal is to extend life and maintain physical , emotional , and mental health .
“ Living longer and living better are not mutually exclusive ,” Attia said . “ Enhancing one almost invariably enhances the other .”
The Centenarian Decathlon
The Centenarian Decathlon is Attia ’ s strategic approach to improving healthspan . It involves tailoring a training program to maintain physical robustness in later years . This program is based on identifying 10 crucial activities you want to be able to do at age 100 ( or whatever your final decade ’ s end may be ). The training regimen is not just about one type of exercise but underscores the necessity of a well-rounded program that incorporates strength , cardio fitness , stability / balance , and flexibility .
