In a world where people are getting older and older, a crucial question arises: how can we not only live long – but live well? The answer is longevity. It’s not just about more years of life, but about a better quality of life: vitality, joie de vivre and independence – even in old age.
Longevity describes a holistic lifestyle in which body, mind and psyche are in harmony. Many factors play a role in this:
- A nutrient-rich diet low in sugar, industrially processed foods and harmful fats
- Sufficient exercise and regular physical activity
- Deep, restful sleep
- Positive relationships and social integration
- Freedom, joie de vivre and meaning
- Consciously avoiding toxins such as nicotine, alcohol and environmental toxins
- Dealing constructively with stress
Studies show that although many people – especially in industrialized nations – grow old, they suffer from chronic ailments. The aim of longevity research is therefore not only to prolong life, but above all to extend the healthspan – the healthy, active years. The most important health goals in old age are:
- Physical vitality and performance
- Mental clarity and emotional balance
- Dealing positively with stress and resilience
- Joy, lightness and inner stability
- Longevity starts today

A long, healthy life is no coincidence – it is the result of conscious decisions. Those who pay attention to a balanced lifestyle, emotional equilibrium and a targeted supply of essential micronutrients lay the best foundations for healthy longevity.
Longevity means taking responsibility – for your own body, mental health and daily balance. And this responsibility does not just begin in old age.
