صحة جيدة حتى المائة.. كيف تؤدي الروابط الاجتماعية القوية لحياة طويلة

A recognized global expert in the field of longevity and aging reveals the secret to a prosperous, long-lasting life: meaningful social relationships. “For anyone thinking about what the second half of their life will look like, Healthy to 100 is a must-read,” says Chip Conley, author of the New York Times bestseller “Live Healthy to 100.” The Wall Street Journal chose it as one of the best books of the year. Contrary to popular belief, the secret to longevity is not limited to eating healthy, exercising, or getting regular medical check-ups. Rather, successful aging depends on the nature of your relationships and social connections. If you want to live a healthy and fulfilling life, you have to start with your social health. In his book, Health to 100, longevity expert Ken Stern takes us on a journey to some of the longest-living countries in the world—Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Italy, and Spain—countries that have made significant progress in extending life through thoughtful strengthening of social connections. Scientific studies show that physical and mental health all improve thanks to the intergenerational connection, sense of purpose, and respect that older people have in these countries. Their example provides us with a personal and societal guide to how to improve the second half of our lives. By telling lively and inspiring stories from around the world, Stern shows that the key to healthy longevity lies in changing your mindset and building meaningful social relationships. Health to 100 offers a hopeful and achievable model, backed by research, for anyone seeking a longer, healthier life.
