  Experts have been analyzing the evolving trends in human life expectancy. While the average life expectancy is still rising for young people, the figure is expected to continue rising for the foreseeable future. Paul Irving of the Milken Institute Center for the Future of Aging said that millennials could easily live to be up to 110. Unfortunately, people focus too much on their life expectancy, rather than the quality of life they will experience during their years on this earth. The reality is that lifespan isn’t really as important as health span when it comes to the practical quality level of life for people.

Why Healthspan Should Be the Real Focus

The thing that a lot of people don’t think about is it may or may not be possible to dramatically increase the number of years you can live on this planet. However, while the years themselves may not change all that much, the quality of life you have during those years just might be able to change a lot. There are some unfortunate trends taking shape, which show that people are getting less healthier, even if they live longer. The Advisory Board reports that millennials are more likely to suffer from hypertension, major depression, high cholesterol and diabetes than their Generation X counterparts. The process can take on a lot of forms, and there are both pharmaceutical and emotional methods you can use to get a greater health span. Pharma and Its Ways Pharmaceuticals have gotten a bad rap in some cases. It isn’t just about taking more drugs for the sake of making the big pharma companies richer than they already are. Some drug companies have profit margins up to 45%. The good news is that not all treatments are driven by greed. In a lot of cases, you can use supplements that aren’t about the big profits, but are about actually making your life better from the inside out. Many of these supplements aren’t even the types you’d need to see a doctor for. They may be sold over the counter or the Internet. As long as you can trust where you get your supplements, they should be of fine enough quality and safe to use. You must carefully monitor what you put into your body. With so many types of supplements out there, you can’t just consume the latest fad that everyone else is using. You need to carefully research eveyrthing that you consumer. Health Biz Decoded , you need to stay co these trends. They don’t just talk about the importance of monitoring what you consume. They also emphasize the importance of being consistent with what you take. Taking something great a couple of times won’t help you. The Holistic Lifestyle A significant part of taking your health span up into the higher levels is to live a holistically healthy lifestyle in a way that has nothing to do with supplements whatsoever. As great as it can be to take the best stuff that will help you chemically, a lot of the changes you make are going to have to be lifestyle-based changes. These will help you more than any pill or powder because they will be wider-reaching. Living holistically better comes down to a few things. Eating better and keeping a balance of your carbohydrates and fats is a big part of things. As well, regular exercise that begins as early as your 30s is going to make a huge difference down the road when it comes to how well your joints and muscles are going to be working properly.

Make Quality of Life a Greater Focus

You need to make some changes in the way you live. You can’t just worry about living longer. You also need to make the most of the years that you will be on this Earth.
