In this interview, 86‑year‑old Jim Polakof reflects on the factors that have contributed to his long, healthy life. He attributes his longevity to early eating habits, a lifelong engagement with physical activity—particularly tennis, which later caused back issues—and a continued commitment to intellectual pursuits such as podcasting and writing. Polakof emphasizes that seniors in their 60s, 70s, and 80s can maintain health and vitality without relying heavily on medication, offering practical advice drawn from his personal experience.
