healthspan
The maximum number of years we will live is called our lifespan but our
healthspan is even more important because it is the number of healthy active years we will enjoy during that time.

They are working to extend our lifespan but extending our healthspan may be even more important since just living longer doesn't matter if we are not still healthy and active.

Kaleo Diet
A combination of the Ketogenic, or Keto, diet and the Paleo diet. Many people have adopted the Paleo diet (eating like our hunter-gather ancestors) which means no grains, legumes, processed foods, sugar, etc. Now more and more people have switched to the Keto diet (a high fat and very low carb diet which forces the body to burn fats rather than carbs since we normally burn carbs for fuel, but if there is very little in the diet, the body will burn the fat for fuel through a process called ketosis). You can continue to eat the like a cave man but adapt it to a percentage of fats, protein and carbs that turn your body into a fat burning machine and you have the Kaleo diet.
