Research following more than 120,000 people over eight years found that VO2 max was one of the strongest predictors of longevity. VO2 max reflects how efficiently your mitochondria use oxygen to produce energy.Supporting metabolic health is essential for healthy aging. Even when plenty of fuel is available, your cells can’t produce energy efficiently if metabolic health is impaired. While high cholesterol is often viewed as a risk factor, research has linked higher total cholesterol with a lower risk of all-cause mortality. Although genetics influences aging, lifestyle plays a more significant role. Supplements can be beneficial, but it’s best to focus on meaningful changes to support longevity. Regular long walks are a great way to support mitochondrial health and a longer lifespan.
