Description

Do we live longer if we live next to green spaces? And what can we learn about longevity from squishy creatures in the sea?

Peter Allison and Peter Bowes - school friends in North East England 50 years ago - discuss the latest science that could help us achieve a longer healthspan.

Topics covered in this conversation include:

• Peter A. shares his goals for the next 15 years, which include scuba diving and hiking.
• The goal of healthspan over lifespan
• A discussion of a study on the regrowth abilities of simple organisms in the sea.
• The study found that these organisms have a high level of cellular plasticity and can regenerate body parts.
• A connection between senescence (aging) and the healing process in these organisms.
• The second paper discussed in the podcast explores the impact of living near green spaces on longevity.
• The study found that living near green spaces can add two and a half years to life due to biological changes.
• The benefits may come from enhanced social interactions and a sense of peace and relaxation in green spaces.
• The podcast highlights the importance of mindfulness and avoiding negative behaviors in order to improve healthspan.
