LONGEVITY strategist Marcus Pearce believes that the secret to a long, happy and purposeful life, lies not in genetics or miracle diets but in purpose, movement and connection – the true “superfoods” of healthy ageing.
He is bringing his message of vitality and longevity to Latitude One in Anna Bay on Saturday 8 November, in a free community presentation that is open to all.
The event runs from 9am to 1pm, and is hosted by Ingenia Communities.
“The three ingredients I’ve found in all my research are [having] a compelling reason to get out of bed each day, and engaging in physical and social activity.
“These are the real superfoods [for] ageing well.”
The presentation will deliver practical, research-backed insights into how Australians can add years to their lives, and life to their years.
It draws on more than a decade of research into the world’s famed Blue Zones, such as Ikaria in Greece and Sardinia in Italy, where people regularly live past 100.
Mr Pearce believes lifestyle communities play a crucial role in helping older Australians thrive.
His message is particularly relevant given that World Health Organisation data shows Australians spend an average of 12.1 years in poor health – one of the worst morbidity profiles in the developed world.
“Longevity by itself is a hollow victory,
“Longevity with quality of life is the name of the game, and it’s what everyone truly wants.”
Michael Rabey from Ingenia Communities said the philosophy aligns with the company’s HOME principles — Health and Wellbeing, Opportunity for Discovery, Meaningful Connections, and Easy Living.
“Our goal… is to build communities that inspire residents to live healthier, happier lives for longer.”
Attendees will also hear from residents sharing their own stories of community life.
