I am 90. Still working in my home office for a consultancy under contract to an international development bank. And pro bono for an NGO dedicated to civil rights. Had a heart attack two years ago but took an aspirin and got to the hospital before serious damage was done. Now have a stent and pacemaker. Feel great although wobbly when I walk without a cane.
Recent health screen revealed all other internal systems are functioning nearly as well as at age 75.
As Owleyes says, critically important to adopt healthy lifestyle. Happy marriage is probably even more important. If you are an extrovert you need to socialize. But if you are an introvert you will find ways to enjoy your time alone.
Benjamin, that is a commendable age. My maternal grandfather reached that milestone. One of the most important things that you can do to avoid heart-attacks, strokes, dementia, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and overweight/obesity, is to improve your daily choices about what you eat and drink, while walking outdoors daily. A whole-foods, plant-based diet works wonders both in preventing all the major chronic diseases, and in reversing them among persons who waited too late to do the prevention. Fresh fruits and vegetables; raw nuts and seeds; ground-foods; whole grains; pure herbs and spices. Avoid added sugar, added salt, anything canned, anything fried, anything from dairy products and animal proteins. All of the Blue Zones in the world demonstrate these points very well. They not only live to 100 years and beyond, but remain active, socially engaged, often still working, and are happy, healthy, and in harmony with Nature.
@@brentshuffler1234 Totally agree. But a person has to start young to do these things. I quit smoking in 1975. Never touched tobacco since.
Wow! We salute you!
@@mangoyacho Thanks, Sue.
Good advice ! Thanks for sharing!
One of my ex's great grandmothers was a superager, though at the time I didn't know there was a name for it. All I know was she was the most impressive person I'd ever met. She was 93 & her eyes shone to an almost crystalline degree. It was as if she was electric & every brain cell was active. She was absolutely addicted to learning & had remained in school her entire life. She was currently on her 12th degree. The most stunning person I ever encountered.
My Moms sister at 93 could thread a needle without glasses and her mind up untill age 97 was like a 40 year old! She had a high meat diet and needed open heart surgery about age 75, so imagine if she had been plant based? Also lived with a chain smoker till he passed. She outlived all her 5 siblings by at least 20 years and I think her main secret was her faith. Reast in peace aunt Josephine.
@@garyssimofaith is an extremely common trait so it would have to be something else besides or billions would be just as healthy.
@@FoursWithinnah she has a point cuz faith=drive and inspiration=healthy mindset no stress=healthy body
@@damonwhite3519
There's only a point IF
you completely overlook
the statistical facts concerning
the massive population numbers
of all people who have faith.
I hope to be a superager, and I have a crazy thirst for education/knowledge. I already have two Associates and am working on my first Bachelor’s with plans for postgraduate certifications, a masters degree, and a PhD. I also want to get more Associates and pre/post graduate certificates as I make my way through college and my career (I hope to work with people with disabilities). I’ve got a long way to go, but I think keeping an active mind will go a long way. My Nana is still alive and active at 85 and she has always kept mentally and physically healthy (although she has her vices, she’s a sugar addict). My grandpa lived to 83 and he treated his body like absolute garbage, so I’ve got good genetics for longevity. I do think genetics play a big role because there’s all sorts of genetic risks for aging related diseases like heart disease, cancer, diabetes and dementia. Luckily my family has little of those with the exception of heart disease, so I have to be vigilant about my heart health. Anyway I think keeping your mind and body active is the key, but genetics probably have the final say. EDIT: Re: people’s comments on faith, I am not religious and neither is most of my family. If faith helps some people with their mental health it probably helps with their longevity to some extent, but that doesn’t mean people who aren’t religious inherently have shorter lives.
I got my first heart attack at 60, and took care of my health ever since. Genes, diet, exercise, finance and Internet played important roles. I can still drive my car, walk and think, although I'm getting more absent minded. I am 89 years old and still married.
Inspirational, thank you.
So nice to hear you got control of your health! Congrats!

Which topic,heart?
At this information about boosting healthily brain truly speaking is very important and thank you very much.
Age is just a number.
What’s important is our attitude in life.
Video starts at 8:00
Summary of practical takeaways:
Speaker 1: some sort of anti aging pill may come out within a few decades
Speaker 2: having a positive attitude that embraces challenges helps prevent cognitive decline.
Speaker 3: use it or lose it. Exercise is a big deal.
Exercise is THE BIGGEST deal. All else is mostly wishy washy. Pills wont bring rejuvination
You don’t say???
Exercise is a HUGE deal.but not easy
This trick of having a positive attitude is easier said than done. All old geezers become grouchy or Grumpy old men. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumpy_Old_Men_(film)
positive attitude no easy task when cognitive decline hits What comes first?
At 59yr I just bought a young horse. I struggled with my decision at my age. Won’t be riding this one for another 3 yrs. Then I thought use it or lose it. Yes I may be a little sore. But I will ride my Friesian sport horse at 62yrs hopefully enjoy him for at least 15 yrs. Don’t smoke don’t drink stay active and have a good diet. I walk an hour day with my dogs.
Wow! I’m 62 and really loved each and every word. Thank you
I work in the airforce fixing aircraft. yes I totally agree about the tenacity, if you squeeze your brain to do what you love, interesting in what is required to gain the results, helps a lot to keeep your memory healthy and alive. As a second interest afterwork I isntruct guys to perform athletic goals in extreme sports as high level motocross an to do that I'm studying motorial science. At 57 Age I feel still like a kid but when the airforce, started to put me apart, my willings to do thing collapsed and my memories followed that situation. So the enviroment as job or passions, needs to be keept alive. I started from today to follow your seminaries to improve my knowledges and keep my american english alive. Thank you to share this seminaries with whole world. Jeff Bianco Italy
Not even one speaker spoke about the impact of diet on aging - one of the most important aspect that impacts aging and diseases
More over Dr Sinclair talks about NAD and does not follow up with any suggestion about dietary intakes which can help to keep the balance of NAD . just wait for a pill to be developed and then pill will be the answer for all the maladies.
my thoughts exactly. these people are intelligent but are mas scientists who keep the pharma companies in business.
@@louisedole7179 well said!! This is very disturbing to watch!
Mostly the diet, place and movements are important,one should keep oneself busy , whatever you age like the Japanese,you will see even a person who is 75,80,90 will do physical work at home and walk and stand while doing work,so we all should do the simple things and not take pills, these medicines are not good have side effects... 🙏
Thank you for your response. You just saved me and hour and a half of my precious time.
Thanks a million HMS for this wonderful seminar. I am 52 now. Gratefully, some of my friends told me that my endurance & agility were like a 30-year-old man while doing sport. I never smoke, love sport since my childhood, ideal body-weight, controlled eating habit. By learning from your seminar, certainly, it can improve my spirit to live healthier with longer life as a bonus.
I am a 77 yo female with a dyslexic brain structure. Like many of my cohort I would have failed the SuperAger memory test of 16 words. I did fail that test when I was young. I would fail the word memory test at 77. EVIDENCE During a Mensa meeting, 40 members, including myself, took 2 timed memory tests: one with words and one with connected spatial dots. I had for many years developed tricks to pass the word based memory test. For example I focus on the shortest words, words with vertical letters, or image words. My Mensa results: word test =average, connected spatial dots = extremely high. I entered MIT as an undergrad at 34 years old. I graduated with an SB at the age of 38. Following graduation, as a member of USDOT, my papers were peer reviewed and published by the National Academy of Science. Today I perform equal to my younger self when taking a test that is compatible with my

I wish to give a hint of information to all readers in this column on the topic of how to live a longer life - whether you believe in Karma Vithi etc., or not. A close friend of mine who came from a lower middle class family where his father was a govt. clerk in 1945 or so in Colombo Ceylon now Sri Lanka. This boy born in middle of 1937 got into a govt. free Eng medium school (after 6th std.) of course Anglican Management School. Passed his JSC (8th std) Shifted from there to a Govt managed College Passed SSC (Eng medium) - With Shorthand/Eng.Typewriting skills joined a Foreign High Commission, spent 20 yrs and from there shifted to Middle Eastern country Returned back after 3 yrs, then worked as Secretary for a private firm in Colombo and served a dozen yrs. Shifted to a EU country where also worked as a self employed person but got retired. Now starting 84 looks 20 yrs younger, In Good health & Shape and thoroughly active. He says he eats normal veg/non veg Asian food, regular lunch time 2 shots Whiskey with lunch ( moderate alcoholic for 67 yrs), sportsman still doing exercises not regularly but runs a bit whenever climate allows etc. With this rate I am sure he will not vanish for another decade.
Very good information regarding connectedness and tenacity , thanks Dr Alex .
I sent your presentation to my wife. She is a nurse practitioner. I can’t wait to see how she runs with the information.
Thank you for making it easy to follow. I’m sure it was more work than we can realize.
How did she handle it?
Excellent work by Dr Sinclair, keep up the good work to help humanity , thanks !
Man is on quest in helping in our aging, yet man can not stop war, man can not prevent disease, even death. Russia is power hungry, many people are dying. War is horrible, crime around the world is increasing...question is staying young and all the research in the world can not prevent these disasters. Yet, thank you for trying..you are appreciated.
I enjoy these educational opportunities. I am so happy that you share them on social media. It would be wonderful to actually attend one of these public seminars.
Even if you attended to met Dr. Sinclair in person and he spoke to you NOTHING WOULD EVER CHANGE STILL. Humans are stubborn and NEVER change their habits.
Most welcome.
Congratulations!!!
WOW, that teaches me
to take care of myself.
Thanks Harvard Medical school and the speakers for an excellent presentation.
Excellent work and information provided by Geriatrics expert , you are very kind and compassionate , I liked the walking supporting devices to improve gait.
Excellent information, please continue your good and scientific work .
Thanks
Thanks Dr Lifzit and Harvard Medical School aging center.

Thank you for your lecturing
Good morning sir, I love and appreciate you for your efforts to make awesome awareness to the world community, about health ,awellness and longevity of life span, ThanQ, I'm ever great to you and your family members
Sir?
Hi I am Ravi, from India. We in our boyhood have to walk without footware. Our elders used to say that this will improve our health. The last presentation of putting a vibration mechanism inside the shoes is something similar!
I take good care of my health by eating wisely, not too much of anything at any given time whether at home or dining with friends or other family members.
It is now more than 4 years since the 'Art of Aging Well' seminar: so, Harvard, where are we now? What's new? 🙏
Exactly. Also, have the environmental aspects been integrated?
Thank you for sharing the seminar video! 2 years have passed since this speech, I would like to have an update of this, the professor and his dad.
I have found a lot of Dr. Sinclair material on RUclips.❗️A great Resource.
My mother was a lifetime active person - from childhood through her 70’s. She ice skates several days a week and danced just about every night. She never weighed more than 105 lbs. She developed a brain disease (progressive supranuclear palsy) in her early 70’s & died at 84. The most famous example of an active person succumbing to brain disease (Alzheimer’s) is Iris Murdoch who was a philosopher & author and loved to swim. And of course Ronald Reagan. You can exercise every day, consume a healthy diet, and stay intellectually active and still succumb to brain disease.
Yes you can, but the chances are significantly reduced when you adopt a healthy lifestyle.
Alzheimer’s is now referred to as Diabetes 3 due to the high consumption of carbohydrates and sugar.
You can also include Linda Ronstadt who also developed progressive supranuclear palsy in her late sixties - early seventies.
@@annetcell-ly4571 Lack of exercise, eating dairy products and high animal protein diets are related more to Alzheimer’s than ‘carbohydrates’. There is a difference between junk carbs and complex good carbs…Blue Zone evidence…
Maybe diet was not as great as it could have been…that it could have included more of certain vitamins and minerals to turn off the bad genes. This science is still developing…
great presentation, many thanks for sharing 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
It would be a great Healy to everyone if you can schedule the topic about: SLEEP & MENTAL HEALTH on how they affect each other. Thank you very much and more power to your future presentations ! I’m from the Philippines !
Thanks for sharing 🌻
Thanks for sharing. Hope to see more studies like those.
Nice approach to neuroscience...well...done
Yes, we are watching.
Very good , and remarkable information, many thanks . Please keep me informed ,
Thanks ,
Excellent work on super agers and tenacity. Thanks Dr Alex keep up the good work .
Today is November 17, 2021. On November 24th I will be 84 years old. I just finished watching Harvard Medical School's "The Art of Aging Well" presentation on RUclips, The program talks about maintaining the brain and extending its life if possible. I would like to volunteer my story to your scientists for study. I had a stroke this year, July 30, 2021, and have seen several doctor for treatment. I've had heart palpitations for 3 to 4 years. My view has been that these heart palpitations would cause me medical problems in my old age. They have; and i would like to share my symptoms and repairs with you. I would like to know more about this problem; it seemed confusing to several of the doctors that I visited. Your program reminded me of many of them.
Wow... Thank you very much for a very informative and educational seminar.
Please update the knowlege and information for the general public more often.
I greatly appreciate all these eminent speakers.
I am working on that now!
Am 63 not slowly getting old.i live life with purpose,keep moving.....go for the goals

Don't forget to add creator GOD
Thank you all very much
Very interesting. My mum just passed away last year December 2021 at the age of 102years . Died in her sleep without any illness . Think it’s partly genetic as her siblings mostly died in late 70yrs to 90yrs. My mum was still mobile and good memory’s
Did she supplement? Which? What foods were staples?
Great research and findings , wish these finding result in actionable inputs. A pleasure to listen.
Long healthy life is consequence of healthy natural diet, active lifestyle, movement of body parts, positive thinking, enjoying seeking and learning. Yes, age is after all age, and needs regular care for our physical and mental health. At 70, I am looking forward to reduce my present professional responsibilities and to give more time, in fact to begin the things I couldn't do earlier.
What a beautiful Dean!
very informative for innovations in the future
Mam::: watching your bulletin very informative rather a dynamic approach:::M.Ashrsf.Lone.::: with love from India******
Dear Dr. Sinclair. You are absolutely one of my personal heroes. I cannot thank you enough for what you do. Long life to you and your loved ones ✌️♥️✌️

Inspirational Vibrant Vintage Lessons For ALL.
Very educative n excting
I'm 35 and I love this
I need this pill now!
Thank you - This is valueful for me to plan for my aging, right now in 2022 I am 64 years. My aim is always to get good health. To be overweightness is not good. I am thankful that I am still going strong. To live vitality as an old/retired will be great to look forward for me in future. So I decide to balance diet 80% is vegetables , fruits, bean and 20% of daily is fish, sea food. The important is motion every day, at least 1 hour a day, especially walking.

I love to hear studies like this. Though this may be another spin on the Austronesian ways of diet and lifestyle. We were so far in longetivity values before we were abruptly annihilated in obliteration. We could have shared our ways and lived forever together.
very nice presentation on aging
Absolutely wonderful inputs. One needs to better prepare for aging with the insights in this video 👍🏼
Very effective
Be yourself! Acceptance is the key!
This is very educative and helpful. I researched for this for my aging parents in Uganda as I realised I need more information to help them stay health as they are aging. Nevertheless this seminar has turned out to give me vital info not only for my aging parents but for me and even my children. Thank you very much for sharing.
I thought was Great! Especially The first speaker, YA! Keep that pension cheque comin' !!
Did they repeat this Aging Well seminar last 2020 when the global pandemic struck? Harvard Medical experts really helped me with lectures and advices!
Lucky you
Why still so many diseases. .
A lot of talk about what us scientist will be able to do in the future about increasing healthspan.
Not one word about the practical steps that have been tested and proved so far e.g. autophagy and fasting. eliminating sugar, regular exercise, Ketogenic diet.
Us ordinary folk want new information that we can put into practice NOW! (especially if you are a well 78 like me)
How is a ketogenic diet healthy long-term?
Don, it's common for many techniques of antiaging to be left out. Either not enough time or not with the specific areas covered.
@@UNOxDExELLOS I dont know how it can help me because it seems a non overweight person could eventually underweight by a permanent ketogenic diet.
Long-term ketogenic diet linked to shortened lifespan.
I wish i neaver learnt a bout,health till later in life,my dad all way,s sed,eat well but neaver,told me i learnt a,lot by my self and i tell,my family has not meny,peoeple tell you a, bout ageing all so the,menopours has should,be talkd a bout, ar ment dont tell you a bout,ageing and the rest,
l found out letting go of all hate, envy, hostility, anything negative, let it go, see beauty in everything and everyone if possible, Be more in tune with nature, never lose interest in everything. move, eat less.
Never ever give up. Getting to know what my Creator says about me is another. He says age means nothing to Him. I concur with this. Don't follow the crowd, spend time working on Self. You have to maintain your self mentally and physically.
I am 73 yrs young. Play tennis, walk, mini trampoline, bike of just move my body. Life long learner. Learning to eat one meal a day, drink plenty of water.
The Lord will show you what to do.
What does that one meal look like? With one meal you have the energy to do all that? Show me the way. What supplements do you take? I'm 48.
Thank you very much for the shared lesson! 👏🏻
Nice comment buddy, very well meeting you on here, are you familiar with forex trading.. would you like to explore the idea?
Great 👍
What are y’all thoughts on Stem Cell Thearpy as an anti-Aging treatment?
This is an excellent discussion on aging and has some very useful insights, very interesting as well
Hah. I think I am a ‘super agers’.
I am asian and ironically I worried I will live to 100s. I am 73 now. Still work from home nowadays in complex computer drafting. Physically, felt like middle age. My body looks young. My hair are full on my head. Cycle daily instead of driving or taking public transport. My ‘younger brother’ is still active. I don’t remember I ever get sick.
Speaks quiet a numbers of different languages, etc.
How to stay young & healthy.
Keep your ’chi’ or ‘internal drain’ in your body circulating to prevent ‘clotting’.
This is one way to keep you young & healthy. 🌱🤔🙏
A great seminar, thank you.
When I was 20 age I learned zero new language. Now 64 age I learning multiple new language.
What languages are you learning?
A city in Maharastra....Badlapur. living peacefully on minimum support 😌. No violence of any sort. That's what life is all about.
So informative
learning base on the stable life , if you have no money for life , as old people almost 70, first to think how to live .
Nice
I am Lloyd Martin from Australia & only now came across this RUclips.
1. How is it possible to obtain a supply of NMN ?
2. Is it possible to obtain the PIEZO-ELECTRIC VIBRATING INSOLE?
Lloyd Martin Australia
Is it possible to purchase that wonderful supplement?
What a beautiful hair you have Gina!
Wow, it would be lovely to get the benefit of excercise by taking a pill without the physical excercise.
Ok.
What are the side effects of NMN?
I'm willing to let them experiment on me! Where do I get it?
Consumers old and young should pair their portals for better outcome. Internationals studied the agility speed and tolerance levels for the aging. Help 55-100 year olds live with dignity passion dedication and duty without feeling isolated and or used without regard for their contributions.
Great presentation! Will these wonderful medicines be on the more costly side, or will it be available for the masses, in the sense that it will be affordable?
Sarah.....If the treatments can be reasonably enough priced, pharma will make use of them as most people will want and need them, at least that's what I've heard.

Really great work you have here. However when you look at the effect of ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences) on health, you will know that unless you are able to educate and assist parents to reduce the stress children are under you will be missing at least a third of the solution to living healthy. As a trauma recovery specialist, I see my patients, by the time they get to me have high amounts of chronic health issues, especially in regards to metabolism, structure (abused kids have old injuries), and other stress related illnesses. Nearly all disease is made so much worse by stress, so unless we make a better social world to live in, we will be chasing our tails, and always be undermined by our willful ignorance as to the long term effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences
There needs to be more awareness of the impact of ACES. I am self recovered and have a healthy life since 45, that is 10 years. I re parented myself with Louise Hay, tony Robbins, Eckhart Tolle and Wayne Dyer. These authors got me habits in my life that made me feel worthwhile and highly functioning on the planet.
@@Caroljoyebrey Yes many people can largely recover over time. Many people have severe PTSD which is an causes actual physical change to the brain and body chemistry, and many are physically injured including head injuries when having a lousy childhood. Glad to hear that you were one of the lucky ones, who with such hard work could recover.

what are the takeaways? :)
As far as superaging is concerned, I'm over 80 and I would pass with top score only because I use mnemonic memory clues or cues.
Any comparison between cognitive ability of Superagers and When these superagers were young?
