Can You Get Healthier As You Age?

Many people don’t realize we can prevent chronic disease through our everyday choices, like diet and exercise. That means we can practice valuable protective measures to give us greater immunity and longevity. And while we all hope and wait for a coronavirus vaccine, it’s important to focus on what we can do right now to support our health.

On this episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m joined by Dr. Aseem Malhotra to discuss how to do just that. We also discuss the cultural shifts needed to better protect ourselves in the future.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra is a founding member of Action on Sugar and was the lead campaigner highlighting the harm caused by excess sugar consumption in the United Kingdom, particularly its role in type 2 diabetes and obesity. In 2015, he coordinated the Choosing Wisely campaign by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges as lead author in a BMJ paper to highlight the risks of overuse of medical treatments. In the same year, he became the youngest member to be appointed to the board of trustees of UK health think tank, The King's Fund, that advises the government on health policy. His first book, co-authored with Donal O' Neill, The Pioppi Diet, has become an international bestseller.

  1. Maybe it’s like our ancestors who would have lived for hundreds or thousands of years (not saying that we can) at a strong healthy level, check out the years of age of the ancestors in the Bible… I’m thinking how one could continue to grow in size too along with the years but not the ‘ageing’ because the ancestral evidence of decreasing stone art depicting ‘giant’s but also regarding gigantism; the body IS able to continue growing! (Maybe our noses and ears know this! lol)

  2. 10 years ago I had stress heart attack. Chest muscles have not returned. How to repair this? Rehab has not been adequate. Must need diet change.

    • Check out Low Carb or Keto – Low Carb is easier as in keeping daily carbs to 75 grams or Net Carbs to about 45-55 grams. Greatly or eliminate junk food.
