Question 313 of 433
If I had $2,000 to spend on longevity toys, what would you tell me to buy?
The short answer
Things that make the foundations easier.
A blood pressure cuff. A set of adjustable dumbbells and a few sessions with a trainer to learn to use them. Good walking shoes. A sauna membership if you enjoy it. Blackout curtains. A HEPA filter for the bedroom. A heart calcium score. And a plane ticket to see someone you love.
The best longevity device ever built is a pair of legs that get used.
