Small changes can extend your life

Petra was always amazed by her grandfather’s activeness. Even in his 90s, he was sharp, energetic, and deeply connected to those around him. When she asked for his secret, it wasn’t anything grand—it was consistency in the little things. He emphasized that small, daily habits kept him strong and helped build his tribe over time.

Research backs this up. You don’t need drastic changes to improve longevity. It’s the small actions—walking more, eating smarter, and staying connected—that add up. Over time, these habits create purpose and lead to a healthier, longer life.

Start simple. Move a bit more each day, take the stairs, or do a few stretches. Opt for higher quality foods over sugary snacks without obsessing over strict diets—just aim for better choices. And prioritise relationships; regular social interactions reduce stress and boost well-being.

The path to longevity isn’t complicated. Those small steps become habits, and those habits will pay off in the long run.
