Have you given any thought to how long you will live? Will you live into your 80’s or 90’s? Will you be one of the few people who live more than 100 years? How many of those years will be healthy years of life? Most of us are aware of the term lifespan. Have you ever considered your healthspan? Lifespan is the total number of years we live. Health span is how many of those years are healthy and free from disease. Unfortunately, many will spend 20% of their lives unhealthy. Host Ray Sanders, Dr. Bill Pierce and Greg McNeece get honest and upfront about the importance of taking care of ourselves as we do all we can to have as many healthy and vibrant years of life as possible. Learn more about why a healthspan is the key to an excellent lifespan on this edition of The Exploring Aging Podcast.
