In this episode of Side Notes, Wil breaks down the 5 key take aways from our latest series on Longevity.
Tip 1 - Ageism is real, how to be aware of it.
Tip 2 - How to move to increase your Vitality.
Tip 3 - Breathe correctly to fix your snoring and long term health.
Tip 4 - BOTH Spontaneity & Rhythm are the keys to youthfulness.
Tip 5 - The whole connected organism, and personal responsibility.
To get a deeper insight into each key point, please do head over to the main series where I interviewed 5 guests on the topic.
As always, each series is fantastically diverse and offers many different and unique perspectives on the topic of longevity. I was lucky enough to speak to a Doctor, with over 20 years of experience. I spoke with the FOUNDER of Parkour and James Bond Stunt Man, now in his 50s and still as active and vibrant as ever. I spoke with an ex-professional Rugby player, and two movement teachers - one into his 60s, and the other half his age.
