I used to flinch at the topic of aging. Is there anything we can do about the inevitable?

But recently I've been digging into a new wave of longevity research that is making it an exciting time to be an aging human – which is all of us.

It turns out, we all age at varying rates. Super-agers may have great genes, but research shows our habits and routines – everything from what we eat and how we move our bodies to who we spend our time with – matter a lot, when it comes to aging well.
