The health of society depends on this, and AI has huge potential for increasing our healthspan faster like never before – insideTracker and other AI powered tools are doing fantastic jobs in healthcare.
Healthspan.
A period of life spent in good health and free from sickness or chronic diseases.
A quick one, are you still in good health or looking healthy today and sick tomorrow?
Here’s my story: It’s been one year plus still running. I’ve been in good health.
Part of the reason, I’ve been studying afrolongevity – a new medical concept extrapolated from longevity science.
Meaning an Afrocentric approach that studies about African lifespan and healthspan.
The goal is to know and understand how aging can be rejuvenated and chronic diseases like cancer could be cured forever.
Experts predict that breakthroughs within the next 10 years will enable us to add decades onto our healthspan.
Your mission is therefore to maximize your health and vitality by using the most advanced diagnostics to catch disease early, enabling you to stay healthy long enough to intercept the additional breakthroughs racing towards us, says Peter Diamandis.
Africa and Pareto Distribution
As the world’s youngest population, Africa can tap into this healthspan revolution, but let’s begin with this.
The Pareto distribution, commonly called the 80/20 Principle, states that 80% of the outcomes stem from 20% of the causes.
This principle has many applications to businesses, sciences, agriculture, wealth, etc.
Applied to healthspan, 80% of healthy lifestyle comes from 20% of healthy individuals, and among these individuals, 1% are experts.
You can apply this to increase your healthspan when you focus on:
1. Consuming 80% of nutrient-dense foods while allowing yourself 20% of less healthy ones such as baked cake, bread or snacks.
2. Dedicating 20% of your time to preventive measures such as learning about your biological life, drinking enough water, meditation, etc., can provide 80% of health benefits.
3. Empowering yourself with 20% of the most relevant health content can boost 80% of lasting and positive effects on your healthspan.
Is Africa Ready For Longevity Escape Velocity?
Ray Kurzweil, Co-Founder of Singularity University and Futurist at Google, predicted that we’ll reach longevity escape velocity in the next 10 to 12 years.
Can Africans Experience Breakthroughs In Their Healthy Human Lifespan?
A tortoise lived for 344 years in Oyo, Nigeria.
Does it mean humans can live past 200 years?
This is a novel development and unconventional pattern African researchers and policy-makers should circumvent for the future generations.
