Optimists live about 15% longer than pessimists, according to a National Academy of Sciences study. A longevity mindset means a disciplined daily routine: skip the late-night ice cream, get up promptly, dress, exercise. The speaker predicts a health-span revolution in the next five to ten years could extend human health by decades.
There is a very high correlation between your beliefs, your mindset, and your physical body. There's an interesting study that was published in the National Academy of Science that said optimists live 15% longer than pessimists. The longevity mindset is the following. There has to be some reason why you don't dive into the ice cream at night before you go to bed. There has to be some reason why when you get up in the morning, you don't dilly dally. You get dressed and you go to the gym. Longevity is a commitment. We're on the verge of a health span revolution. Over the next five to 10 years, we're going to see the most extraordinary breakthroughs that are going to extend the human health span by decades. If you want to be there to intercept all these benefits coming, you want to keep yourself in maximal health. You don't want to be the last person dying before this revolution hits.
