  • How important is sleep?

  • What’s the first step to making a change for a healthy life?

  • How can I use strategies like endurance exercise to improve sleep quality and cognitive skills?

At this event, leading international expert on healthy longevity, Professor Luigi Fontana, will share his 20 years of research, clinical practice and accumulated knowledge on how nutrition, regular exercise and brain training, mindfulness and other lifestyle interventions can lead to a long life free of diseases, and why these factors have the influence on health that they do, as outlined in his new book 'The Path to Longevity'.
