Smart advances in beauty, health and fitness are promising to help us live not just longer, but better. Get ready to engage in personal optimisation mode.
If you’d been born just over 100 years ago, you’d have a life expectancy of around 55 years. Today, it’s closer to 85, thanks to advances in medicine, technology, nutrition, lifestyle changes, knowledge, education and everything in between. We’re evolving into the longer-living – and our whole aging landscape is changing. It’s not even a question, anymore, of when “old” will officially kick in – the expectations we have for our health and wellbeing are shifting, too. You need only look around your packed spin class to see that being concerned with health and fitness has become the norm. We’re working out as a way of life rather than as a chore to burn off the wine calories. Now, the wellness industry is responding by looking beyond fitness and nutrition, towards fine-tuning and future-proofing. The idea is that not only do we live longer, but we also live better. Call it the superhuman revolution, call it wellness 2.0 – it’s part evolution, part technology, and I want in on it.
