Dear Streetwise Customer,
You must have noticed…
We’re all living longer.
When I was young, three score years and ten was still thought to be a reasonable lifespan. Live to seventy and you’d done okay. Get to seventy five…and that was a bonus.
But over the last few decades, medical advances have changed all that.
Science has done a great job of tackling and neutralising life-limiting conditions. And as a result, lifespans have skyrocketed.
That’s the good news…on average we’re getting about a decade more than fifty years ago, with an ever growing percentage of people living into their nineties and beyond.
Retire today and you can often expect another 20-25 years…or even more. Over the next 20 years, the number of centenarians is expected to double.
For many, those additional years are characterised by physical and mental decline, limitation, and dependency. We’re being kept alive but we’re not being kept… ALIVE!
Our Lifespans have grown but our Healthspans…the time that we are robust, fit and able to take advantage of everything life has to offer…have not kept pace.
And you might rightly ask…what’s the point of that?
I certainly did.
My name is John Harrison, and for the last 35 years I’ve spent my time building financial wealth and independence and helping other people do the same. I’ve been pretty successful on both counts and not really stopped to give any serious thought to getting older and what it might mean.
And then I read something that stopped me in my tracks. It said…
That shook me a bit! So many of us fret about running out of money, but give little thought to running out of health. I’d thought about how long I might live, but not how long I might be healthy.
And without health, money has little real value. Not for me anyway.
Maybe you feel the same?
I started to do some research into healthspan…what it takes to remain vital, active and engaged well into later years… and what I found was shocking. I’ve always exercised, tried to eat reasonably well and maintained what I thought was a healthy weight, but my approach was woefully out of date…
Out of date because I was doing broadly the same stuff as when I was in my thirties and out of date because the game has moved on.
What works at thirty-five no longer works at sixty. Much of what was thought to work two and three decades ago has been debunked and revised today.
It became obvious very quickly that I needed to make some serious changes, and what I discovered formed the basis of Built To Last – How To Extend Healthspan Into Your Nineties And Beyond’ , my new book which pulls back the curtain on the latest thinking on what it takes to expand your healthspan to fit your extended lifespan.
And the really exciting news is that it’s a lot less than you might think. In fact it may be that what you really need to do is something a little different…not more. Just different.
We’ve never had so much health information available to us…and yet we’ve never been so confused.
Visit YouTube and you will find thousands of videos telling you what you should do to stay fit and healthy. And they all say something different.
Some are well intentioned but ignorant, others are targeting people at a different stage in their life, and others still are being deliberately controversial just to get views.
Is it any wonder that we often just give up and end up doing nothing?
Built To Last has been written to strip away all the bull**** and all the confusion and leave you with a very clear set of principles and ideas you can use to have a dramatic and lasting impact on your healthspan.
Instead of trying to nail down the ‘perfect’ programme’ Built To Last asks:
- What genuinely matters?
- What can you safely ignore?
- How little do you need to do to get most of the benefit?
Go to a doctor when you’re ill and you’ll often be given a prescription for a medication. That prescription isn’t “take as much as you want.” You will be prescribed a specific dose…just enough to be effective while minimising any potential side effects.
Your doctor knows that more isn’t necessarily better, and too much can be harmful. It might even make things significantly worse!
Well it turns out, the same is true of your healthspan…
A central concept that runs through every chapter of the book is ‘minimum effective dose’. What’s the minimum amount of time, effort and input you need to apply across the board to give the bulk of the healthspan benefits?
What I found is that in almost every area, diminishing returns set in very quickly.
And not just that…very quickly ‘more’ can become counterproductive if you want to improve your healthspan.
That’s great news!
It means that less is often better than more, and it means that approaching this with a ‘work smarter’ rather than a ‘work harder’ approach is what really pays health dividends.
You really don’t need to do that much to dramatically shift the needle and boost your chances of enjoying a long healthspan.
But you do need to do something.
And you need to do it in a way that maximises the benefit while minimising the time and effort involved.
Here are a few of the things you’re going to learn in the book…
- Why the body you need at sixty-five is not the body you needed at thirty-five. (It can still look great….just work differently.)
- What you really need your body to do in middle and older age…and how to make sure it can do it for the long haul.
- Why much of the health advice you followed in your 30s and 40s starts to backfire on you after you hit fifty (and can hasten your decline in your 60’s and beyond).
- How chasing fitness can quietly undermine health in the second half of life (Spoiler alert…this isn’t an excuse to become a couch potato!)
- How exercise can actually make you weaker as you age (and what to do about it).
- Why eating less often feels (and is!) worse, not better, as you get older.
- Why you probably need less exercise than you think…not more. (But you need to be smart about it.)
- Why those ‘love handles’ should be something you cherish – not try to banish.
- How to stay aerobically fit without running, cycling or HIIT (and which of these is best if you want to go to the next level).
- The only five strength movements you really need to work on – and the dozens of exercises you can bin-off for ever.
- Why flexibility is a ‘red herring’ and what you should aim for instead. (This will ruffle a few feathers!)
- How to regain and maintain the balance and mobility of your youth…literally in the time it takes to boil a kettle. No drills, classes or equipment needed.
- Why you might not need formal workouts at all to build a YOU that lasts…exercise that slots effortlessly into your regular day.
- How fragility develops gradually, not suddenly…and how to spot the warning signs fast and stop the rot before it takes hold. (This can creep up before you even notice what’s happening.)
- Why exercise doesn’t have to look like exercise to work (Clue: Your body doesn’t know what formal exercise is!)
- How to maintain strength without fuss or formality. Fancy gyms and workouts are totally optional.
- Why most “healthy habits” fail under real-world pressure, and how to stop it happening to you.
- Why the people who age best rarely follow the latest health and exercise trends…and what they do instead.
- Why chasing perfection is counter-productive, and what you should really be aiming for to get maximal healthspan benefits.
- The secrets you can learn from The Blue Zones where people live the longest (It’s good, but not what everyone else tells you.)
….and a great deal more.
Yes, you will get fitter doing things differently. And yes, you will get stronger and yes, your balance and mobility will improve. You’ll even look better!
But this isn’t really about that.
It’s about building a YOU that can deal with everything life has to throw at it in later life, and still come bouncing back for more…ready to do exactly the same things it’s always done.
It’s about preparing yourself in advance so that when those inevitable bumps in the road come along, you’re ready and able to rebound fully and quickly.
Healthspan isn’t always about avoiding a problem…it’s about making that problem an inconsequential footnote rather than a defining chapter in the book of your life.
This book is for you if:
- You’re over fifty and want to stay strong, vital and capable for life…not just ‘healthy’.
- You’re tired of extreme advice that doesn’t understand the importance of recovery and how the needs of your body change over time.
- You want clarity and simplicity, not confusion and complexity.
- You want to do what works and eliminate what doesn’t.
- You want your body to work…not just to look good.
- You want quick wins…but also long term benefits.
It’s not about doing everything.
It’s about doing enough of the right things, often enough, for long enough.
Put this into practice (it really isn’t hard to do) and I know it’s going to transform how you enjoy and spend what can be ‘golden years’, but in reality, often turn into anything but.
Whatever stage you’re at…fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties even…this book is going to be a ‘game changer’ for you. I’ll wager that there isn’t anyone who will read it and not find at least something which will make a significant difference to their healthspan potential.
In fact I’ll guarantee it!
