Add years to your life and life to your years
In his book Live Long and Strong, Dr. Colbert explains the health markers that predict how well you will age. Most of them respond to daily choices.
- Build and keep muscle. Strength training two or three times a week protects balance, bones and blood sugar.
- Protect your bones. These 5 simple habits for stronger bones work at any age, alongside the top 5 supplements Dr. Colbert recommends for living longer.
- Cover your nutrient bases. Needs change with age. Learn about vitamin D and a daily multivitamin.
- Track inflammation. Chronic inflammation speeds aging. The hs-CRP test is one number to know.
- Stay connected and purposeful. Faith, friendships and a reason to get up in the morning are part of a long life.
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing. (Psalm 92:14, KJV)
