BEAUTY
An evolution of the "third space"
The "third space" is a place where humans can convene in areas that are not their home(first space) or work(second space). There are wellness centers emerging that have many cross-disciplines and modalities across them. In the past, you had to go to different spaces for yoga, therapy, or whatever your interests were. Now, these wellness centers are popping up that have multiple modalities that offer longevity, are more accessible, and are where you can convene with others and feel a sense of community. These spaces will offer hot cold therapies like cold plunges and saunas and allow you to participate in these things with groups which can make it more enjoyable. This is especially important as we're in the midst of a pandemic and can often feel lonely, so this third space can offer longevity and wellbeing through community and therapy.
NUTRITION
Prioritizing protein in your meals
If you're focused on longevity, resistance training and muscle building need to be a part of the conversation, and to do that you need to ingest protein. Many who study protein and protein muscle synthesis suggest you need to ingest approximately 30g of protein in each sitting. Since not all protein is created equal, the easiest way to meet this goal is to consume animal protein since it's higher in protein than plant protein.
FITNESS
Incorporating strength training into your fitness routine for longevity
Strength training is crucial for building muscle, which is one of the keys to longevity. Muscles play a protective role against age-related injuries and diseases so building muscle mass can support this. This goes hand with our need for prioritizing protein.
HOME
Designing homes to support circadian rhythm
Sleep is a problem that so many of us struggle with and some of the big optimizations come when you start your day. Simple things you can do and invest in at home are getting daily sunlight first thing in the morning, getting blackout curtains, or an alarm clock that helps usher in that morning light.
