Lifespan and Healthspan: How to Live Longer and Better

People are living longer now, but additional years will be more enjoyable with a high quality of life. At Catalyst, we measure quality of life in “vitality”: your enjoyment of life, your mobility and independence, your resistance to disease and injury, your level of freedom to do the things you want to do, and so on.Vitality often decreases at a rapid rate as we age, and many people live long after their vitality is gone. But vitality can be preserved if you take action today.No matter how old you are or what your current fitness level is, we can help you add years to your life and life to your years. We call this "increasing your healthspan": The period of time when you're fully functional. The goal: Get the length of your healthspan as close to your lifespan as possible.1:25 - Healthspan and lifespan5:17 - Vitality and measurements of healthspan7:12 - Why are we talking about healthspan now?9:58 - Kicking ass at 85
