Dr. Rowe discussed the factors that predict successful aging and mentioned that roughly only one-third is inheritable (genetics). That means, that two-thirds of how we age are, “related to lifestyle, and exposures, and education” which meant to him that he was responsible for his own old age. How empowering was this information to you? What might you do now to improve your chances of aging successfully, healthy, optimally? What might you do in the future as you are aging?
