How do we stay healthy longer as we get older?
Life expectancy is increasing today at a very fast pace. But a long life is not the same as a healthy life. There are many diseases associated with age, sometimes linked to lifestyle, that affect large numbers of people as they get older. In this challenge, we demand ideas & innovations that help us stay healthy longer while living longer.

How do we stay healthy longer as we get older
The average life expectancy increases today at a very fast pace. But a long life is not the same as a healthy life. There are many diseases associated with age, sometimes linked to lifestyle, which affect a lot of people as they get older. In this challenge we ask for ideas & innovations that help us stay healthy longer while we live longer.

This challenge is inspired by the third section of Openlabs podcast MATLABORATORY - about food, science and society. Section three deals with how we stay healthy longer and experts in different areas share their perspectives and insights.

We live longer and longer. Not since the 1960s, longevity has increased as fast as today. Some even claim that those who are born today could live for 250 years.
While we are getting older, many people suffer from diseases such as cancer, alzheimer's and cardiovascular diseases, when they get higher up in the ages. Therefore, the fact that we get older means that we can be sick longer, if we do not find ways to also, at the same time, keep us healthy and healthy even when we are old.
In demography and public health, apart from the average life expectancy or life expectancy at birth, one speaks of the expected number of healthy years at birth (healty life years expectancy at birth). If our longevity increases, without increasing the number of healthy years, this not only means personal suffering but also high social costs for the elderly and the elderly.
Different diets and theories about what we eat and how we move for healthier lives further up in the ages have become increasingly talked about in recent years. Concepts such as nudging have also emerged, that is, to encourage or "control" people's behavior by simplifying things, for example. healthy choices.
So how do we proceed to extend the time we are healthy, even when we are old, by how we eat, live and move us?

Togetherness, knowledge, movement and something good to eat
Combine shorter walks, with different focus, which ends with joint eating something healthy. The walks go to cultivation areas and in close forests to be able to pick along mushrooms, berries or other grown. Knowledgeable companions can tell you what you are looking for and then you can cook together and eat a healthy meal. Then diet and exercise are combined with knowledge and coexistence.
