00:00Longevity experts say these three lifestyle swaps can add a decade to your life, walking more.

00:08Longevity doesn't have to be all about high-tech treatments and cutting-edge supplements.

00:13As it turns out, the secret to a longer, healthier life can simply lie in establishing healthier habits

00:19and making a few easy lifestyle changes.

00:23From a longevity medicine perspective, the most powerful interventions are often the simplest ones that people overlook.

00:30Explains Dr. Hallen Chen, MD, a double-board certified physician and chief medical innovation officer at Eden.

00:38According to him, prioritizing sleep, daily movement, and anti-inflammatory foods is key.

00:45Dr. Chen says this trade-off could make a bigger difference than you realize.

00:50Sleep is literally the number one thing individuals can do for longevity, he emphasizes.

00:55While we sleep, our brains activate waste-removal processes that clear harmful toxins.

01:02Quality sleep supports DNA repair, hormone regulation, and cellular regeneration.

01:09Poor sleep accelerates every hallmark of aging, from cellular damage to immune dysfunction, Dr. Chen warns.

01:16Building and maintaining muscle mass is one of the best indicators of overall health and longevity, Dr. Chen says.

01:24Regular movement improves cellular communication, reduces inflammation, and supports mitochondria.

01:30As Dr. Chen puts it, movement is medicine at the cellular level.

01:35Every pound of muscle maintained after age 40 contributes to better metabolic health.

01:40Dr. Chen emphasizes that nutrition is one of the most overlooked longevity tools.

01:47Food is medicine, and chronic inflammation accelerates every aging process in your body, he explains.

01:53Whole foods, antioxidants, and healthy fats protect against DNA damage and fuel your body's repair systems.

02:02Reducing processed foods while increasing nutrient-dense meals helps reduce inflammation.
