About Us
Younger Lives is all about helping people live a lifestyle that is proven to control the rate of ageing, reduce the risk of long term health conditions - and most importantly, maximise happiness so people can enjoy life to the fullest whatever age they are.
Why is this important?
No-one wants to get ill or feel old before their time - and helping people to stay young and healthy for their age is now even more important due to:
-
Our ageing population - requiring people to stay productive and working throughout their 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s.
-
An over-stretched National Health Service - making it harder for people to access the health & wellbeing support they need.
The unhelpful willpower myth
Whilst we all want to stay happy and healthy, the majority of us struggle to keep the necessary lifestyle changes going long term. This can make us feel we are somehow 'lacking', as we don't have the willpower required.
The truth of what works: Younger Living Habits
As neuroscience & behaviour science experts, we know that long term lifestyle change is can never be down to willpower alone.
In fact, the only way to succeed is by building enjoyable and proven habits into your life so that over time, these behaviours can become automatic and part of your life.
Everyone has the power to improve their life with Younger Living habits - and that's why we set up Younger Lives to give people the expert support they need to have they life they want and deserve.
