Life Tree Training

This app is a guide for how to age well - it's a great place to start.

This app is essentially a guide for how to age well; although it could be perceived as a life philosophy it is more than this since it is based on published evidence of what appears to work. There is a great deal more to find out but what follows is a good place to start.

The app is aimed at people who want to try to ensure a healthy ageing process. There are no guarantees because the research is still in its infancy; it is about maximising your chances of maintaining healthy brain function, living happily, with purpose, and maybe even living longer.

One thing that modern science is showing us is that we can have a dramatic impact upon our health and longevity! What we do may be as important a factor in how well we age as our number of years on the planet. This is new and exciting information!

Longevity is, at most, 25% predetermined by our genes; in other words, at least 75% is down to lifestyle factors that we have the power to influence. Put simply: We can lengthen or shorten our lives by the choices we make in how we live.

There is a need for people to do the best to preserve their health – if not for their own quality of life, at least to ease the financial burden on the health and social care systems. This issue has been recognised by governments of all the developed countries – hence the proliferation of research and information over the last few years.
