Dr. Annu Navani Urges 4 Low-Cost Longevity Habits Over Living Past 120

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 7

Summary

  • Four low-cost habits — sleep, stress control, nutritious eating and regular exercise — can do more for healthy aging than pricey biohacks, Dr. Annu Navani said.
  • Navani argued longevity medicine should add healthy years, not promise immortality, saying claims that people will routinely live beyond 120 or 130 are a false promise.
  • Seven hours of sleep, meditation, balanced meals and exercise form the core plan; for adults in their 50s and beyond, she singled out high-intensity resistance training for bone and muscle health.
  • 150 minutes of moderate activity a week — or 75 vigorous minutes plus two strength days — remains the CDC benchmark, while Navani also pointed to VO₂ max as a key longevity marker.
  • A 1-hour morning routine of three 20-minute blocks — meditation, movement and reading instead of checking a phone — was her example of how to start improving healthspan at any age.
