In 1991, India was yet to open the door of its economy. Cable TV was still in its first days. Sachin Tendulkar had scored just one of the 100 international centuries he would go on to. The Soviet Union was still a confederation of 15 states that would birth many countries. Before they would go on to take their giant steps in 1991, a 17-year-old Indian boy that year entered the hurly-burly of professional tennis. Thirty years later, Leander Paes is poised to exit, at the age of 46.

As tennis careers go, it is recognizable in many respects, conventionally and tangibly, unconventionally and intangibly. Conventionally and tangibly, one could count Paes doubles title haul and that would make for noteworthy reading: 18 Grand Slams across mens doubles and mixed doubles, and 54 titles in mens doubles. However, stopping at that would be to miss the bigger picture of human possibilities.

Unconventionally and intangibly, Paes career has been about using grit, heart, and smart to make much more of his, relatively speaking, modest talents. It runs through his career and it shows up as something he embraced and pursued more readily and more easily than many of his peers across tennis generations: longevity.

Among players who have been his doubles contemporaries, Paes is up there when it comes to weeks spent in the top 10 rankings in mens doublesthe elite group in doubles. At 461 weeks or about nine years, his count of weeks spent in the top 10 is ninth across players who were active during his time. Fellow Indian Mahesh Bhupathionce friend and then foe, with whom he won 26 titlesis two places above Paes.

Extend that to the top 20 ranking and Paes leapfrogs Bhupathi and slots in at the fifth spot. Three of the four players above Paes were part of doubles pairings that were sticky. There are the Bryan brothers, Mike and Bob, who are still active. There is Todd Woodbridge, who had a long run with Mark Woodforde. This raises the tantalising question of what if the Paes-Bhupathi had stayed hyphenated longer on court.

Paes first entered the top 10 in doubles ranking in 1997 and remained a fixture there till 2000. This was the Paes-Bhupathi golden run and saw Paes even ascend to be the worlds top-ranked mens doubles player. Their pairing was electrifying, right up there with pairings before them who forged a collective identity with a partnership that was sticky and led to success.

Before Bhupathi, Leanders still young career could be broken into two phases. The first was when singles was his first pursuit an Olympic medal in 1996 and some stellar matches in the pressure and workload cauldron that is the Davis Cup. In singles, he moved in the ranking band of 100-200 till about 2001 before giving it up.

The second phase was when Paes turned his attention to doubles in a bigger way. As the game moved to power-hitting from the baseline, something that was never his strength, the switch to doubles for a player with quick hands and court craft made sense. Paes doubles career took off in 1997. Hes been a fixture on the tour and in the main draws since. Besides the first run with Bhupathi, he had another longish stint in mens doubles between 2009 and 2014.

In the set of his most successful doubles contemporaries, Paes stands at number eight in terms of total matches played, across singles and doubles. His winning percentage of 62% is the lowest in this set (Bhupathi is at 65% and the Bryan brothers lead with 75%). However, in terms of the number of years on tour, he leads them all.

That also partly underscores how Paes has managed his workload, especially in the past few years. When one talks about longevity, the arena of tennis where it came together for Paes like little else was Davis Cup. The team competition, in Paes heydays, called on a top player to play three matches in three days, each over a five-set format that didnt draw the line at some point. Play he did. With 91 wins, Paes is fifth among all players in terms of Davis Cup wins and theres not a single contemporary in this top 10 list. He leads all in Davis Cup doubles wins. He has as many singles wins too.

It is not bad for a player who was prone to losing his forehand and could not stitch a rally from the backcourt. It is a testament to staying the course and maximizing.

Leander Paes, the long-playing record - Livemint

Over the past few years, advice for those approaching, and in, retirement has increasingly taken centre stage for many in the industry. The Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook, issued in January 2018, alongside the recent Dear CEO letters to adviser firms, are examples of the FCAs increasing focus on this part of the market.

From a client perspective, significantly more people are entering drawdown, even those with smaller pots, and they are staying in drawdown for longer. Having a clear strategy for different client segments means you can help both your clients and your firm mitigate the risks that emerge as clients move through later life. It may also help you find ways of simplifying and bringing to life complex topics, such as income sustainability and longevity, in a way that clients can understand.

Three Dear CEO letters this year make FCA intentions clear

There are increasing demands on firms, including the need to ensure the cost to the client is appropriate, detail those costs on an annual basis, demonstrate they fully understand the products theyre recommending, and evidence that those products are in the best interests of their client. Making sure all of that is done on a consistent and efficient basis across a firm may lead some advisers towards establishing a centralised retirement proposition to sit alongside their centralised investment proposition. The ying of decumulation to the yang of accumulation.

Creating a CRP

There is no regulatory requirement to have a CRP, but it may build a framework that helps you manage the various interrelated risks of giving retirement advice, while helping you address the issues your clients face as they enter retirement.

As well as drawdown, a CRP needs to cover all assets a client may use in retirement, from pensions to ISAs, offshore and onshore investments, defined benefit and state income, and property.

A CIP is all about having a structured investment process that aims to deliver a robust solution that is both repeatable and consistent during the growth phase. However, a CRP is much wider than just investment, and should include all the risks clients face as they move through later life.

Retirement is no longer a cliff edge. Many more clients gradually ease from working into retirement, for example, by phasing tax-free cash withdrawals. So there needsto be consistency and a working link between your CIP and CRP to reflect this. A CRP needs to evolve from a CIP.

It is crucial that a CRP sets out a firms position around some of the complex issues facing clients in retirement, such as how you assess capacity for loss, when annuities play a part in your proposition and for which clients. It needs to consider inflation and longevity in a way clients can follow, and include a documented, robust sustainable withdrawal strategy.

Read our DFM Centre article: No CIP makes PROD compliance even more tricky

Other considerations

Investment clearly plays a part in all this. We know investment when taking an income is different from the growth phase, and different solutions may be needed. Sequence risk is a key factor when taking an income and there are a number of methods commonly used to manage this risk.

One option is holding funds in cash equivalent to, say, two years income. Pot investing is a similar concept where income is drawn from the lowest volatile fund with money rebalanced regularly. Taking natural income is favoured by some, while others may opt for volatility managed funds.

All these strategies have benefits and downsides. You may want to set out your reasons for using a particular strategy along with supporting evidence, as you may use different strategies for different client segments.

There are other areas to consider too. Vulnerable customers are of particular importance to the FCA and are one of the reasons it so vehemently advocates the need for regular reviews, and documentation of conversations and recommendations.

When is a client vulnerable?

Vulnerability comes in many different forms. It could relate to your clients health, certain life events (such as divorce), how resilient their finances are to unexpected losses, or even their level of financial knowledge. By assessing your clients against each of the FCAs drivers of vulnerability both at the outset and at their regular reviews you can ensure your advice is tailored accordingly. And having your vulnerability policy set out within a CRP means there can be consistency across your firm.

Some may see CRP as the latest fad in retirement planning, but it can help firms set out their strategy in a number of key areas, such as sustainability of income and longevity. These are areas many clients simply dont understand, and being able to articulate a clear strategy, with evidence to support it, may help clients understand why recommendations are being made, and the benefits these may bring.

Many people think that life expectancy is largely determined by genetics.

However, genes play a much smaller role than originally believed. It turns out that environmental factors like diet and lifestyle are key.

Here are 13 habits linked to a long life.

The link between calorie intake and longevity currently generates a lot of interest.

Animal studies suggest that a 1050% reduction in normal calorie intake may increase maximum lifespan (1).

Studies of human populations renowned for longevity also observe links between low calorie intake, an extended lifespan, and a lower likelihood of disease (2, 3, 4).

What's more, calorie restriction may help reduce excess body weight and belly fat, both of which are associated with shorter lifespans (5, 6, 7).

That said, long-term calorie restriction is often unsustainable and can include negative side effects, such as increased hunger, low body temperature, and a diminished sex drive (3).

Whether calorie restriction slows aging or extends your lifespan is not yet fully understood.

Nuts are nutritional powerhouses.

They're rich in protein, fiber, antioxidants, and beneficial plant compounds. Whats more, theyre a great source of several vitamins and minerals, such as copper, magnesium, potassium, folate, niacin, and vitamins B6 and E (8).

Several studies show that nuts have beneficial effects on heart disease, high blood pressure, inflammation, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, belly fat levels, and even some forms of cancer (9, 10, 11, 12).

One study found that people who consumed at least 3 servings of nuts per week had a 39% lower risk of premature death (13).

Similarly, two recent reviews including over 350,000 people noted that those who ate nuts had a 427% lower risk of dying during the study period with the greatest reductions seen in those who ate 1 serving of nuts per day (14, 15).

When it comes to anti-aging strategies, turmeric is a great option. Thats because this spice contains a potent bioactive compound called curcumin.

Due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, curcumin is thought to help maintain brain, heart, and lung function, as well as protect against cancers and age-related diseases (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22).

Curcumin is linked to an increased lifespan in both insects and mice (23, 24, 25).

However, these findings have not always been replicated, and no human studies are currently available (26, 27).

Nevertheless, turmeric has been consumed for thousands of years in India and is generally considered safe.

Consuming a wide variety of plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and beans, may decrease disease risk and promote longevity.

For example, many studies link a plant-rich diet to a lower risk of premature death, as well as a reduced risk of cancer, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, depression, and brain deterioration (28, 29, 30, 31).

These effects are attributed to plant foods nutrients and antioxidants, which include polyphenols, carotenoids, folate, and vitamin C (32).

Accordingly, several studies link vegetarian and vegan diets, which are naturally higher in plant foods, to a 1215% lower risk of premature death (33, 34).

The same studies also report a 2952% lower risk of dying from cancer or heart, kidney, or hormone-related diseases (33, 34).

Whats more, some research suggests that the risk of premature death and certain diseases increases with greater meat consumption (35, 36, 37).

However, other studies report either nonexistent or much weaker links with the negative effects seeming specifically linked to processed meat (38, 39).

Vegetarians and vegans also generally tend to be more health-conscious than meat eaters, which could at least partly explain these findings.

Overall, eating plenty of plant foods is likely to benefit health and longevity.

It should come as no surprise that staying physically active can keep you healthy and add years to your life (40).

As few as 15 minutes of exercise per day may help you achieve benefits, which could include an additional 3 years of life (41).

Furthermore, your risk of premature death may decrease by 4% for each additional 15 minutes of daily physical activity (41).

A recent review observed a 22% lower risk of early death in individuals who exercised even though they worked out less than the recommended 150 minutes per week (42).

People who hit the 150-minute recommendation were 28% less likely to die early. What's more, that number was 35% for those who exercised beyond this guidance (42).

Finally, some research links vigorous activity to a 5% greater reduction in risk compared to low- or moderate-intensity activities (43).

Smoking is strongly linked to disease and early death (44).

Overall, people who smoke may lose up to 10 years of life and be 3 times more likely to die prematurely than those who never pick up a cigarette (45).

Keep in mind that it's never too late to quit.

One study reports that individuals who quit smoking by age 35 may prolong their lives by up to 8.5 years (46).

Furthermore, quitting smoking in your 60s may add up to 3.7 years to your life. In fact, quitting in your 80s may still provide benefits (44, 46).

Heavy alcohol consumption is linked to liver, heart, and pancreatic disease, as well as an overall increased risk of early death (47).

However, moderate consumption is associated with a reduced likelihood of several diseases, as well as a 1718% decrease in your risk of premature death (47, 48).

Wine is considered particularly beneficial due to its high content of polyphenol antioxidants.

Results from a 29-year study showed that men who preferred wine were 34% less likely to die early than those who preferred beer or spirits (49).

In addition, one review observed wine to be especially protective against heart disease, diabetes, neurological disorders, and metabolic syndrome (50).

To keep consumption moderate, it is recommended that women aim for 12 units or less per day and a maximum of 7 per week. Men should keep their daily intake to less than 3 units, with a maximum of 14 per week (51).

It's important to note that no strong research indicates that the benefits of moderate drinking are greater than those of abstaining from alcohol.

In other words, there is no need to start drinking if you don't usually consume alcohol.

Feeling happy can significantly increase your longevity (52).

In fact, happier individuals had a 3.7% reduction in early death over a 5-year study period (53).

A study of 180 Catholic nuns analyzed their self-reported levels of happiness when they first entered the monastery and later compared these levels to their longevity.

Those who felt happiest at 22 years of age were 2.5 times more likely to still be alive six decades later (54).

Finally, a review of 35 studies showed that happy people may live up to 18% longer than their less happy counterparts (55).

Anxiety and stress may significantly decrease your lifespan.

For instance, women suffering from stress or anxiety are reportedly up to two times more likely to die from heart disease, stroke, or lung cancer (56, 57, 58).

Similarly, the risk of premature death is up to three times higher for anxious or stressed men compared to their more relaxed counterparts (59, 60, 61).

If you're feeling stressed, laughter and optimism could be two key components of the solution.

Studies show that pessimistic individuals have a 42% higher risk of early death than more optimistic people. However, both laughter and a positive outlook on life can reduce stress, potentially prolonging your life (62, 63, 64, 65).

Researchers report that maintaining healthy social networks can help you live up to 50% longer (66).

In fact, having just 3 social ties may decrease your risk of early death by more than 200% (67).

Studies also link healthy social networks to positive changes in heart, brain, hormonal, and immune function, which may decrease your risk of chronic diseases (68, 69, 70, 71, 72).

A strong social circle might also help you react less negatively to stress, perhaps further explaining the positive effect on lifespan (73, 74).

Finally, one study reports that providing support to others may be more beneficial than receiving it. In addition to accepting care from your friends and family, make sure to return the favor (75).

Conscientiousness refers to a person's ability to be self-disciplined, organized, efficient, and goal-oriented.

Based on data from a study that followed 1,500 boys and girls into old age, kids who were considered persistent, organized, and disciplined lived 11% longer than their less conscientious counterparts (76, 77).

Conscientious people may also have lower blood pressure and fewer psychiatric conditions, as well as a lower risk of diabetes and heart or joint problems (78).

This might be partly because conscientious individuals are less likely to take dangerous risks or react negatively to stress and more likely to lead successful professional lives or be responsible about their health (79, 80, 81).

Conscientiousness can be developed at any stage in life through steps as small as tidying up a desk, sticking to a work plan, or being on time.

Both coffee and tea are linked to a decreased risk of chronic disease.

For instance, the polyphenols and catechins found in green tea may decrease your risk of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease (82, 83, 84, 85, 86).

Similarly, coffee is linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers and brain ailments, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's (87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92).

Additionally, both coffee and tea drinkers benefit from a 2030% lower risk of early death compared to non-drinkers (93, 94, 95, 96).

Just remember that too much caffeine can also lead to anxiety and insomnia, so you may want to curb your intake to the recommended limit of 400 mg per day around 4 cups of coffee (97, 98).

It's also worth noting that it generally takes six hours for caffeine's effects to subside. Therefore, if you have trouble getting enough high-quality sleep, you may want to shift your intake to earlier in the day.

Sleep is crucial for regulating cell function and helping your body heal.

A recent study reports that longevity is likely linked to regular sleeping patterns, such as going to bed and waking up around the same time each day (99).

Sleep duration also seems to be a factor, with both too little and too much being harmful.

For instance, sleeping less than 57 hours per night is linked to a 12% greater risk of early death, while sleeping more than 89 hours per night could also decrease your lifespan by up to 38% (100, 101).

Too little sleep may also promote inflammation and increase your risk of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. These are all linked to a shortened lifespan (102, 103, 104, 105).

On the other hand, excessive sleep could be linked to depression, low physical activity, and undiagnosed health conditions, all of which may negatively affect your lifespan (106).

Longevity may seem beyond your control, but many healthy habits may lead you to a ripe, old age.

These include drinking coffee or tea, exercising, getting enough sleep, and limiting your alcohol intake.

Taken together, these habits can boost your health and put you on the path to a long life.

13 Habits Linked to a Long Life (Backed by Science)

When it comes to living a life disease-free, filled with energy and happiness and an impressive amount of time - everyone is intrigued. In fact, internet searches on the matter is astronomical with everyone wanting to know what is the secret. A certain hot beverage has been proven to add extra years to ones life and even reduce the risk of developing Alzheimers.

Drinking as little as two cups of coffee a day can increase life expectancy by a staggering two years, according to researchers.

The research, published in the European Journal of Epidemiology, was conducted by analysing previous studies on the health benefits of drinking coffee.

Looking at the 40 studies conducted including 3,852 651 subjects and 450,256 causes of death, researchers found that drinking coffee had an inverse association with all-cause mortality irrespective of age, weight, alcohol consumption, smoking status and caffeine content of coffee.

DONT MISS

In recent years and decades, scientists have studied the effects of coffee on various aspects of health.

The research has shown that coffee doesnt just help to keep you awake - it can also make a person smarter.

Caffeine works in the brain by blocking the effects of an inhibitory neurotransmitter called adenosine.

By blocking the inhibitory effects of adenosine, caffeine actually increases neuronal firing in the brain and the release of other neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, improving both mood and brain function.

When it comes to ensuring that the body stays healthy, the liver is definitely at the forefront. Often referred to as the bodys personal detoxing system, the liver helps to keep your body healthy and clean by removing toxins from the body. If thats not enough, this vital organ is also responsible for destroying old blood cells, ensuring that nutrients are more easily absorbed, storing minerals, iron, and vitamin A, as well as producing essential proteins and cholesterol and produce bile to break down and digest fats. That said, its no wonder that people are concerned with maintaining the health of the liver, and as such if theres one trend that will never die, its a liver detox.

Before we get into the effectiveness of a liver detox, its best to first discuss what would bring someone to it. As mentioned, the liver is the bodys personal detox system, and if its compromised, then youre definitely going to feel the effects. That said, below are signs that your liver may need a little help;

Now while the average person may associate poor liver function with excessive alcohol consumption which is fair there are other facts that can compromise your bodys liver function. These include;

A liver detox, or cleanse, often takes the shape of fasting on cayenne-infused lemon water for a week, in hopes of cleaning your liver and even losing weight. Now, while this health fad is often featured on every health website known to men, there are a few concerns when it comes to liver detoxes and cleanses.

For one, these cleanses can be dangerous as they often encourage people to go on diets and fasts that may deprive them of essential nutrients, leading to deficiencies and malnutrition. Whats more, there have yet to be any scientific studies that support the benefits of liver detoxes. Whats more, the products that claim to help to detox the liver are not regulated. Essentially, there is a low chance of an unhealthy liver getting better because of a liver cleanse.

Liver detox may not necessarily be the best way to protect liver health. However, there are other ways that can help to protect it particularly through dietary measures. That said, below is a list of liver-friendly foods that you can add to your diet, boosting your bodys personal detoxing system.

Rich in antioxidants, green tea can do wonders for your health, and that includes your liver as well.

For instance, a Japanese study published in the British Medical Journal found a strong association between drinking 510 cups ofgreen teaper day and improved blood markers of liver health.

Additionally, separate research published in the International Journal of Molecular Medicine found that after drinking green tea for 12 weeks, patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) noted an improvement in their liver enzyme levels. Researchers also noted that green tea may have helped to reduce oxidative stress and fat deposits in the liver.

Lastly, findings published in the Nutrition and Cancer journal revealed that drinking four or more cups a day of green tea can help to reduce your risk of developing liver cancer.

With that said, if youre looking to boost your liver health, its preferable to stick to buying green tea as opposed to green tea extracts. This is because some supplements have been found to damage the liver, as opposed to helping it.

A food group that consists of broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and cabbage. These vegetables can help to boost liver health because they are rich in the compound glutathione.

While human studies are limited, animal studies have found that eating cruciferous vegetables may help the body remove toxins, and it may even slow down the progression of fatty liver disease in mice (1).

That said, a 2015 study published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology found that broccoli sprout extract helped to improve liver enzyme levels and decrease oxidative stress in men with fatty liver disease.

If youre looking for the ultimate snack food, then look no further than nuts. High in omega 3 fatty acids, as well as antioxidants and vitamin E, nuts are exactly what your health, and your liver, need.

For one, findings published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology found that, over a six-month period, 106 people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease experienced improved levels of liver enzymes following their regular consumption of nuts.

Whats more, an observational study published in the Journal ofGastroenterologyandHepatology found a link between men who ate small amounts of nuts and seeds and an increased risk of developing NAFLD.

Olive oil is considered one of the best sources of healthy fat in the world, and this can help to benefit your liver.

Fat accumulation in the liver is one of the first signs of liver disease. That said, research published in the journal Diabetes Care found that consuming a teaspoon of olive oil a day helped not only improve liver enzymes, but also fat levels.

Berries, particularly the deep-hued ones like blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, are rich in antioxidants known as polyphenols, and these plant compounds may help to protect the liver from damage.

According to an animal study published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology, the antioxidants commonly found in berries helped to slow down the development of scar tissue in the livers of rats.

Additionally, a test-tube study found in the Food Chemistry journal revealed that blueberry extract helped to inhibit the growth of human liver cancer cells.

Thats right. Believe it or not, your morning cup of coffee may be whats keeping your liver so healthy, as a result of its protective properties.

For instance, a study published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterologysuggested that coffee helps to reduce fat buildup in the liver. If thats not enough, the same study found that drinking coffee helps to lower the risk of permanent liver damage in people with chronic liver disease. Additionally, a separate study saw that drinking coffee can help reduce the risk of death in people with chronic liver disease (2).

As there are foods that can help to keep your liver healthy, there are also those that may affect its health. These include:

Your liver is a vital organ thats needed for various processes, in order to keep your body healthy. Now, while the efficiency of a traditional liver detox or cleanse is still up for debate, there are foods that can help protect its health.

Your enjoyment of FIFA 20 depended on your patience, longevity with the series and whether or not you do anything with the game other than open Ultimate Team packs.

It was just another year for EA's footy machine, but it didn't roll past without serious flak on YouTube and social media from angry gamers who demanded to know why everything was so stale. Bugs and glitches were popping up all over the place too, and the whole project became 2019's latest reminder that annual franchises might not be worth the cash every time they're pumped out onto store shelves.

At this stage, a year off would be a blessing. That's not going to happen though, and it leads many to worry about what FIFA 21 will bring. This will be the dawn of yet another new era for EA's uncompromising juggernaut, and they're not the only ones vying to make it special. Those who venture beyond FIFA's limits know there's stiff competition for the football gaming crown.

Start chewing those fingernails, FIFA lovers, because there are loads of reasons to fret about what 21 will be like...

FIFA 21: 10 Reasons To Be Worried - WhatCulture

NEW YORK, United States Nancy Pelosi has always worn Michael Kors. She told him his clothes make her feel strong, and God knows thats something she needs in Washington. Before his show on Wednesday, Kors was talking about how its more important than ever to take a stand for your principles. If youre going to do battle, youd better feel confident doing it, he said. Thats the simple truth. If youre tugging at your dress, and youre crippled in your shoes, and you cant handle your bag Kors proudly pointed out there wasnt a stiletto heel or a skintight dress in his new collection. And we dont have a bag in the show thats not hands-free. Instead, his woman was dressed for the "real" world. We need a chic security blanket, thats the reality.

His business turns 40 next year, and he claimed hes been thinking about clothing in terms of a security blanket more or less the whole time. Kors has always been ready with a raft of references for each new collection usually a Hollywood style icon but with this major anniversary approaching, hes begun to reference his own work.

There sure is enough of it. Two decades ago, Naomi Campbell modelled a cape in a Kors show, Tina Barney later photographed writer Joan Didion wearing it. We got a phone call saying Joan wanted to buy the cape and I couldnt breathe, the designer recalled. Her writing, her sense of stylishness always knocked me out. Give me Mailbu Joan Didion and Im there. Kors owns Barneys photo. I wake up to it every day. That cape is graphic, it stands the test of time, Kaia Gerber is wearing it in the show today, 21 years later.

Remember in Citizen Kane how the sled called Rosebud was a childhood memory representing all that was simple, good and true for the business titan Charles Foster Kane as he lay dying? Not wanting to sound morbid or anything, but I wondered if the cape might be Korss Rosebud, the thread that runs through his lifes work. Hes a mad movie buff, so the idea appealed to him. He certainly gave us a show that was the cinematic apotheosis of the cape, in every possible guise: Victorian detective, highwayman, Zorro, poncho, blanket. Coats and capes combined, collars flared into capelets.

The simple, good and true bit worked because what Kors was after was a sense of the cosiness and comfort of country dressing given a bit of spit and polish for city life. Now more than ever, the simple truth is that our customers dream of being able to unplug and get out of town, but thats not the way life works out.

So Kors sold the fantasy the joy of wide-open spaces as efficiently as hes always plugged his glamorous Hollywood-spiked re-visions of Americana. The escapism, the honesty of the West is one of the things you can be proud of as an American, no matter what. There was a pony print trench, and a full-on riding look in amidst all the caped cosiness.

Classics. Longevity. Kors has been brooding on them. Funny thing is, we now have a whole new generation of customers who never thought about fashion as investment, but the sustainability conversation has woken them up. They say, I dont have to buy a dress to wear twice to post on Instagram, I can actually buy something thats beautifully made and hang onto it. Intelligently, thats what Ive always thought but now were seeing a whole new generation approaching that idea for a different reason. Thats amazing.

But, honestly, is it so amazing, when youre presented with something as effortlessly, common-sensically glamorous as a slinky grey cashmere turtleneck elongated over a fishtail skirt pav-ed with subtly gleaming graphite sequins and anchored by lug-soled boots? At what stage in the devolution of humankind is that not going to look good?

Right now, Stanford University is addressing a pressing and fascinating question:

What happens to society when everyone starts living to 100? How will we stay physically fit, financially stable and mentally sharp, especially in that back half?

Exploring these questions is the goal of the Stanford Longevity Project. To answer them, theyve partnered with major brands like Wells Fargo, Instructure, and Principal to help research key elements like financial security, lifelong learning, and healthcare.

Despite Americas average life expectancy declining the past couple years due to more overdoses, suicides and alcohol-related illnesses, people are going to be able to live longer. Strong advancements have been made in cancer. This month, the U.S. saw its sharpest one year decline in cancer death rate. That will save millions of lives alone.

But this isnt just a health and wellness conversation. What this presents are multiple opportunities in multiple verticals for marketers.

One of the biggest trends at CES this month was a new generation of healthcare wearables. There were earbuds designed to detect blood pressure for those with hypertension, temporary tattoos that tell you when to get out of the sun, smart glasses that assist people with dyslexia and watches that detect sleep apnea. These technologies are all discreet, easy to use, and built in to everyday things we already use.

We are heading toward a near future in which every human body will have a functioning check engine light. You can imagine how much better healthcare will be when a sensor will tell you something needs attention, rather than panicked scrolling through WebMD.

We will have the ability to know when something is wrong and immediately trigger tests, medication and treatment. Imagine if that sensor, using the IoT, could immediately send and fill a prescription for you.

This is all coming down the pipeline, and its going to help us live longer. Its also going to change the way marketers do their jobs and open up countless new opportunities to reach new audiences.

Heres what some of those opportunities will look like.

Cincinnati has one of the best healthcare startup scenes in the country. Cincinnati Childrens Hospital is ranked #3 nationally. CincyTech has raised nearly a billion in healthcare follow-on investment over the past ten years.

The common thread these organizations share is they are tackling high-use issues in different ways. That includes everything from small, wearable, injectable devices (Enable Injections) that can be used for a multitude of conditions, to analyzing peoples sweat to ensure proper medication dosing (Eccrine Systems).

One of the most interesting might be Sense Diagnostics because their simple device addresses a huge need: stroke detection. Right now there isnt a good way to tell which kind of stroke (transient ischemic, ischemic, or hemorrhagic) someone is having in the field. An ambulance with this non-invasive device will be able to quickly diagnose which stroke is occuring, allowing them to begin the best possible treatment immediately.

As people begin living longer, well see that the traditional approach to education and work must change. A longer living workforce will be more likely to need to reskill for second and third careers.

Private equity firm Thoma Bravo is buying Instructure (makers of the popular Canvas Learning Management System) for $2 billion, precisely because of the projected growth and opportunity in education as people extend their careers.

Of course, four-year higher education will still exist. But new avenues and approaches to learning will emerge as supplemental or alternative ways of reskilling for jobs that will target people in their 60s, 70s, and 80s.

Curricula will obviously also have to adapt, becoming more flexible, personalized, and life-long. Being able to brush up every three months on relevant skills via a subscription model may be a better future model for education than entering a full-time program. Most of the marketing opportunities will be around aiding employers, because they have the budgets and the competition for retention.

Living longer changes a persons entire financial strategy.

Most standard retirement principles assume that retirement will last a maximum of 30 years. The commonly-used "4% rule" of retirement is an example of this. However, if you live to 100 or beyond, your retirement could last 35 years, 40 years, or longer, said Nathan Hamilton, director and industry analyst at The Ascent from The Motley Fool.

A deferred annuity could be worth a look. Essentially, you put some money into an annuity when you first retire (or earlier), but that won't start paying out until a certain agesay, 80 or 85. The idea is that even if your retirement nest egg is getting low as you get older, this move guarantees you a predictable income stream for life.

How we invest may also change as we look to create steady income streams that kick in throughout retirement rather than just upfront. This also may inevitably cause people to work later and longer especially as our workforce trends farther away from physical labor to more mental and creative labor.

The biggest takeaway here isnt that living longer will impact one thing. It will impact everything.

As humans, we need to think about that for ourselves and our future generations. And as marketers and entrepreneurs, we can start thinking about ways we can make that reality better, more productive, and more secure for people.

TEMPLE, TX Baylor Scott and White doctors and researchers are teaming up with experts from across the state to improve the lives of heart failure patients.

Doctors explained to 25 News, those diagnosed with heart failure often have additional ailments, like arthritis, which often impede with the patients ability to exercise; and without exercise heart failure patients conditions often worsen.

Researchers at Baylor Scott and White are efforting a new study, conducting trails on alternative exercise regimens for their patients, by using aquatic therapy.

"The hypothesis is that compared to land based exercise they are going to have actually more mobility both before and after exercise and improve cardiac function" explained Catherine McNeal, M.D PHD Medical Director of Cardiac Rehabilitation at Baylor Scott and White.

McNeal's cohort, Albert Hicks, M.D MPH Medical Director of Heart Failure and Transplant, Baylor Scott and White, further explaining "we know that from many trails including our H.F. Action trail that heart failure patients who do cardiac rehab actually have increased survival...in the pool they have an opportunity to really not only get their heart rate up but also to do an activity that is something that they can do for the majority of the rest of their life."

The Baylor Scott and White team is collaborating with experts in aquatics at University of Texas and bio-engineers at Texas A&M University in their research.

Funded internally by the Baylor Cardiovascular Research Center, the teams efforts have all pointed towards positive results.

Awarded a small grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) the team looks forward to their findings and potentially positively impacting the lives of heart patients nationally.

Anopheles arabiensis is an opportunistic malaria vector that rests and feeds outdoors, circumventing current vector control methods. Furthermore, this vector will readily feed on animal as well as human hosts. Targeting the vector, while feeding on animals, can provide an additional intervention for the current vector control activities. Agricultural animals are regularly vaccinated with recombinant proteins for the control of multiple endo- and ecto-parasitic infestations. The use of a Subolesin-vaccine showed a mark reduction in tick reproductive fitness. The orthologous gene of Subolesin, called Akirin in insects, might provide a valuable species-specific intervention against outdoor biting An. arabiensis. However, the biological function of this nuclear protein has not yet been investigated in this mosquito. The effects on An. arabiensis lifetable parameters were evaluated after Akirin was knocked down using commercial small-interfering RNA (siRNA) and in vitro transcribed double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). The siRNA mediated interference of Akirin significantly reduced fecundity by 17%, fertility by 23% and longevity by 32% when compared to the controls in the female mosquitoes tested. Similarly, dsRNA treatment had a 25% decrease in fecundity, 29% decrease in fertility, and 48% decrease in longevity, when compared to the control treatments. Mosquitoes treated with Akirin dsRNA had a mean survival time of 15-days post-inoculation, which would impact on their ability to transmit malaria parasites. These results strongly suggest that Akirin has a pleiotropic function in An. arabiensis longevity and reproductive fitness.

To some longevity acolytes, stem cells promise the secret to eternal youth. For a hefty fee, you can pay a startup to extract your own stem cells and cryogenically freeze them, in the hope that they can one day be used in a treatment to help extend your life.

Other firms let you bank stem cells from your babys umbilical cord and placenta after childbirth, if youre convinced the high cost represents an insurance policy against future illness. Or you can follow the example of Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett and opt for an anti-ageing cream made with stem cells derived from the severed foreskins of newborn babies in South Korea.

Stem cells are the parent cells which give rise to other cells in our bodies. Since scientists first isolated human embryonic stem cells in a lab and grew them over 20 years ago, they have been mooted as a source of great hope for regenerative medical treatments, including for age-related degenerative conditions such as Parkinsons, Alzheimers, heart disease and stroke.

But apart from a few small-scale examples, the only stem cell-based medical treatment practised in clinics uses haematopoietic stem cells found in the blood and bone marrow which only produce blood cells for transplants in blood cancer patients. These cells are taken from a patients sibling or an unrelated donor, before being infused into a patients blood, or theyre taken from a patients own blood before being reinfused. The procedure has been used to treat blood malignancies for almost half a century, and recently multiple sclerosis too. So how likely is it that the predictions about stem cells' longevity-enhancing powers will become a reality?

In September 2019, Google banned ads for unproven or experimental medical techniques such as most stem cell therapy, citing a rise in bad actors attempting to take advantage of individuals by offering untested, deceptive treatments [that can often] lead to dangerous health outcomes. The decision was welcomed by the International Society for Stem Cell Research, which emphasised that most stem cell interventions remain experimental. Selling treatments before well-regulated clinical trials have been done, the body said, [threatens public] confidence in biomedical research and undermines the development of legitimate new therapies.

Its easy to see how less scrupulous companies can exploit the allure of stem cells, which seem to occupy a place in our collective consciousness as a kind of magical elixir. High hopes for stem cell-based therapies have grown since 2006, when the Japanese biologist Shinya Yamanaka created a new technology to reprogram adult cells, such as skin cells, into a similar state to embryonic stem cells, which are pluripotent, meaning they can develop into any tissue in the body. The Nobel prize-winning breakthrough was hailed as a major step in the study of stem cells without the need for controversial embryo research, and towards the use of these human induced pluripotent stem cells to regenerate damaged or diseased organs or effectively grow new spare parts which could treat the life-limiting and life-shortening illnesses associated with ageing.

Gerontologist Aubrey de Grey, whose Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS) research foundation aims to eliminate ageing-related diseases, thinks the chances well soon have stem cell based therapies are high. For anything that's in clinical trials, you're talking about maybe five years before it's available to the general public, he says, citing stem cell treatments for Parkinsons disease, currently being tested in phase two clinical trials, as one of the developments he thinks is likely to come soonest.

However, given that these trials involve a relatively small number of participants and most clinical trials ultimately fail, his predictions might be overly optimistic. Often described as a maverick, De Grey believes that humans can live forever and there is a 50 per cent chance medical advances of which stem cell therapies will play an important part will make this a reality within the next 17 years. Though living forever, he says, is not the ultimate goal but a rather large side effect of medicine which will successfully prevent or repair the damage that comes with ageing.

For New Jersey-based Robert Hariri, who co-founded Human Longevity Inc, which set its sights more modestly on making 100 the new 60, stem cells derived from placentas present especially exciting opportunities. A biomedical scientist, surgeon and entrepreneur, Hariri says his current venture Celularity which is focused on engineering placental cells, including stem cells, to create drugs for cancer and other conditions is not as concerned about the actual age number, but about preserving human performance as we age and treating the degenerative diseases that rob us of our quality of life.

Many of those working in the field, however, remain cautious in their optimism. Researchers have highlighted the potential risks of giving pluripotent cells to patients, whether they are induced or embryonic, as these cells can develop cancer-causing mutations as they grow.

Davide Danovi, a scientist at Kings College Londons Centre for Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine, says the path to stem cell-based therapy is very long and full of hurdles. The supply chain involves challenges, he says. On the one hand, allogeneic treatments those with stem cells derived from one individual and expanded into big batches to create cells to treat many individuals have the advantage of being similar to the traditional pharmaceutical business models. The product is clear, its something that comes in a vial and can be scaled up and mass produced, Danovi says. But this treatment can present a greater risk of rejection from the patient, as opposed to the more bespoke autologous option which is more expensive and time-consuming as it involves extracting a patients own stem cells before reprogramming them.

Danovi is most excited by the potential of stem cells to treat age-related macular degeneration. In 2017 Japanese scientist Masayo Takahash led a team that administered transplants of artificially grown retinal cells created from induced pluripotent stem cells taken from donors to five patients with the eye condition, which can cause blindness, and theyre reported to be doing well. The eye, he says seems to be a place where immunity plays less of a role relative to other issues, so you can host cells which come from another individual with fewer problems [of rejection]. But, with other organs such as the liver, he says there are major conceptual problems with creating enough tissue. Its like the clean meat burger - you're talking about a production that is, in many cases, not easy to reach with the current technology.

Hariri believes placentas will solve some of the production challenges crucially, theyre an abundant commodity, with the vast majority thrown out after childbirth. His interest was sparked 20 years ago when his oldest daughter was in the womb: When I saw her first ultrasound in the first trimester, the placenta had already developed into a relatively sizable organ, even though she was just a peanut-sized embryo. Id been taught that the placenta was nothing more than an interface, but [if that was the case], you would expect that it would grow at the same rate as the embryo. His curiosity piqued, he began to see the placenta not as an interface but as a biological factory, where stem cells could be expanded and differentiated to participate in the development of that foetus. That intrigued me and I started to collect placentas and just, you know, basically disassemble them.

Placentas have numerous benefits, he says they dont carry the same ethical controversy as embryonic stem cells, for one thing. Scientists working on embryonic stem cells have to destroy an early embryo, and that option yields them a dozen cells, which have to be culture-expanded in the laboratory into billions of cells. In contrast, the placenta houses, billions and hundreds of billions of cells, which can be expanded as well, but you're starting out with a dramatically larger starting material.

Increasingly, scientists in the anti-ageing sphere are focusing on an approach that seems like the opposite of planting fresh stem cells into our bodies. Experts such as Ilaria Bellantuono at Sheffield Universitys Healthy Lifespan Institute are working towards creating senolytics medication that could kill off our senescent cells, the zombie cells that accumulate in tissues as we age and cause chronic inflammation. I think stem cells are very good for specific disease, where the environment is still young, Bellantuono says, but the data in animal models tells us that senolytics are actually able to delay the onset and reduce the severity of multiple diseases at the same time for example, there is evidence for osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and diabetes. She explains that while human trials are still in their early stages, senolytics are likely to be more cost-effective than stem cell therapy and the status quo of older patients taking multiple pills for multiple diseases, which can interact with each other. Besides, she adds, they may actually work in tandem with stem-cell based therapies in the future, with senolytics creating a more hospitable environment in tissues to allow stem cells to do their work.

And as for the so-called penis facial? Its far from the only ultra-expensive stem cell skincare making bold anti-ageing claims but youre probably better off saving your money, as you are with the experimental medical treatments on offer. Stem cells are definitely exciting but theyre not the key to eternal youth. At least, not yet.

KEY POINTS

Lifestyle is among the determinants of how long you may live. For those who regularly go on excessive alcohol drinking, consuming diets full of trans fats, and observe many other unhealthy practices, may not expect to live long.

Scientists and health experts have found long ago that to have a healthier and longer life, you should exercise regularly and consume a healthy and balanced diet. You should also limit your alcohol intake and quit smoking.

It is not at all surprising that observing a healthy diet can help a lot in improving longevity. With thousands of information as to what can be the best diet, however, you can easily get confused as to which one to follow.

Fortunately, recent research has shed light on what could possibly be the best diet that can help improve longevity and at the same time, help prevent cancer. live healthy life vegan diet increase longevity Photo: Rita E - Pixabay

Vegans May Have an Edge

Findings of a new study that were published in The Journal of Nutrition concluded that the secret to a long life might lie in veganism. Leading scientists and health experts agree, saying that a vegan diet helps in warding off a lot of diseases, including cancer.

Researchers revealed that based on the findings of their recently concluded study, the bodies of vegans contain the most antioxidants. According to health experts, this is primarily due to the high intake of vegetables and fruits.

It was also found out that those who follow a vegan diet have considerably lower death rates compared to meat-consumers. This new study reinforces findings of past researches that found a vegetarian diet, which consists mostly of nuts, wholegrain, legumes, fruits, and vegetables, lowers the risk of developing major ailments. It also helps you live longer.

The Vegan Research

Researchers from Loma Linda University have proven that men who follow vegan diets live an average of ten years longer compared to non-vegetarian men. Women following vegan diets, on the other hand, can add six more years of a healthy life, helping them reach an average age of 85 years.

Loma Linda University researchers also comprised the same research team that came up with the groundbreaking Adventist Health Study-1, a study that examines nutrition and life expectancy.This study was regarded as a benchmark in the nutrition world because of its comprehensiveness in terms of the number of participants and the length of time conducted.

Loma Linda researchers, for fourteen long years, tracked the diets, lifestyle, and ailments among 34,000 volunteers who do not drink or smoke. They found several habits that could add years to your life.

For one, the volunteers were consuming plant-based foods and were also consuming a handful of nuts regularly. They are also physically active and maintain a healthy weight. According to the researchers, these lifestyle habits could give you an extra two to three years of a fruitful life.

Durst Organization sees flurry of new business at 1 WTC - Real Estate Weekly

TOKYO A Japanese man with a sweet tooth who believes in smiles has become the worlds oldest male at 112 years and 344 days old, according to Guinness World Records.

Chitetsu Watanabe, who was born in Niigata in northern Japan in 1907, received a certificate for his accomplishment on Wednesday at a nursing home in the city.

The previous record holder, Masazo Nonaka, another Japanese, died last month. The oldest living person is also Japanese, Kane Tanaka, a 117-year-old woman.

Until about a decade ago, Watanabe used to do bonsai, the Japanese traditional art of raising small sculpted trees, and had his work exhibited.

These days, he loves desserts such as custards and cream puffs, Guinness said.

Watanabe graduated from agricultural school and then moved to Taiwan to work at Dai-Nippon Meiji Sugar on sugar cane plantation contracts.

He lived in Taiwan for 18 years. He married Mitsue and they had five children, Guinness said in a statement.

After the end of World War II, Watanabe returned to Niigata and worked for the prefectural government until retirement. He also grew fruit and vegetables on the family farm.

Asked about the secret to longevity, Watanabe has this advice: Dont get angry and keep smiling.

Worlds oldest man, 112, shares the secret to longevity - Tampa Bay Times

I want to start by congratulating Damian [Green] and the whole APPG on the brilliant work youve done to get this issue onto the agenda.

Today is a day for detailed discussion about the proposals in your new Strategy.

But before we get to the policy I want to say a few words about the (small-p) politics.

Among policymakers especially in government our ageing society has traditionally been framed as a problem, a liability.

A source of pressure on public services. An unwelcome modern trend, like cybercrime or falling bee numbers.

But this is looking at things through the wrong end of the telescope.

Because of course its great news were all living longer.

And language matters. The words we use colour perception.

So lets hear less about our ageing society, and more about healthy longevity.

Less about the burden and the pressure and more about the reward of getting this right.

Because our final years should be an act of enjoyment. Not a task of endurance.

That positive framing is important because too often as a society we sweep these issues under the carpet.

We dont like to think about getting older. We dont like to think about our bodies failing. So we dont give healthy ageing the attention it deserves.

Which brings me to the policy question.

For most of the 70 years the NHS has been in existence weve focused on life span.

This has seen extraordinary successes.

Mass-vaccination. The collapse in the adult smoking rate from 45% in the 1970s to 14% today.

But as the NHS enters its eighth decade, it needs to focus more on health span: the number of years a person can expect to live healthily and independently.

In our manifesto we committed to an extra 5 healthy years by 2035. This is the primary long-term clinical goal weve set the NHS.

Both parts are important: extra years and healthy years. Adding years to life, and life to years.

The next question is how do we get there?

Today I want to touch on 3 things.

The first is place and its relationship to people.

Because however you choose to measure the evidence is clear: your chance of a healthy old age is closely tied to where you live.

A man born in Blackpool can expect only 53 years of healthy life, while a man born in Buckingham gets 68.

Thats wrong.

Tackling this postcode inequality matters to this government. Its what we mean when we talk about levelling up.

The underlying factors are a complex interaction between demography and economy.

But because healthcare inequalities are geographically concentrated, it means we can take a targeted approach.

This starts with improving access to healthcare.

50 million more GP appointments. 50,000 more nurses. 40 new hospitals. Its what those flagship commitments are all about.

And we can boost access even further: by using more of our brilliant community pharmacists as a first port of call for people seeking primary care, by using technology to reduce the burden on clinicians, by having everyone in every part of the NHS operating right at the top of their licence.

But having the right NHS services is just one part of building healthier places.

Its about warm, properly insulated homes, low-crime neighbourhoods, and action on the environment like our cross-government work on air quality.

Its the kind of urban design that supports healthy living, more opportunities for walking and cycling bearing down on the 40% of car journeys that are less than 2 miles.

This is something that the Prime Minister is strongly personally committed to, and our announcement yesterday of 250 miles of new cycling routes is another milestone on that journey.

One of the biggest health impacts a place can have is whether it supports good local jobs.

By good jobs I mean jobs that are purposeful and rewarding, not just well paid. Where employers invest in things like mental health or muscular-skeletal support as part and parcel of being a good employer.

And this absolutely includes jobs in the NHS.

As one of the countrys biggest employers, the NHS can have an outsized impact on the opportunities available to local communities.

For example, Im proud of the work were doing with the Princes Trust to get 10,000 school leavers job-ready for roles in the NHS and social care.

The second part of this agenda and closely linked to place is a recognition that healthy longevity is not just the NHS.

Only around a quarter of what leads to longer, healthier lives is the result of what goes on in hospitals.

The rest is down to genetics, the environment, and the lifestyle choices we make.

Yes, we can and we should use the infrastructure of the NHS to help support healthier choices. Measures like dedicated alcohol care teams in hospitals, or targeted anti-smoking interventions aimed at CVD patients.

But increasingly we understand that there are effective, non-clinical approaches to healthier living and ageing.

Look at the use of homeshares to tackle loneliness. Bringing together people with spare rooms and people who are happy to chat and lend a hand around the house in return for affordable accommodation.

Or take the social prescribing revolution.

A growing body of evidence suggests that activities like joining a book group or singing in a choir or learning to play an instrument can have huge health and wellbeing benefits.

Benefits that include everything from sleep quality to reduced anxiety to improved memory.

Over the next few years we want to bring these kinds of treatments to almost a million people.

Weve set up a National Academy for Social Prescribing to aimed at making the NHS a world-leader in this field.

Third, and this wont be a surprise coming from me, is better technology.

More proactive, preventative healthcare depends on a strong data infrastructure. On being able to link disparate datasets from different parts of the system to create a complete narrative about a persons care.

Lets take an example.

We know that atrial fibrillation irregular heartbeat is a common cause of stroke, but the risk varies from person to person.

By analysing lots of different data points for atrial fibrillation patients age, frailty, previous bleeding and so on you can create an individualised risk score.

In turn, this allows GPs to take pre-emptive action, for example prescribing anticoagulants.

In the past assembling all the information needed to produce that score was so time-consuming as to be impractical. It was held on different databases in different formats, often as free text rather than machine-readable code.

But now we can do it with AI.

In fact, a team right here at Kings Dr Dan Bean and Dr Paul Scott have built an AI tool thats able to replicate the analysis of human experts in a fraction of the time.

Adult social care is increasingly a site of healthtech innovation.

Internet-linked devices can help people live at home for longer and stay connected to family and friends.

They can also help providers deliver smarter, more responsive care.

For example, theres a provider up in Warwickshire WCS Care doing great things with acoustic monitoring.

The tech lets the staff hear crying or breathing problems, sending an alert to a monitoring station staffed by a night manager.

It means that staff arent knocking on residents doors every hour and disturbing people.

Everyone sleeps better, and staff estimate that night-time falls have reduced by 34%.

Interestingly, when they analysed the data they found that lots of people were staying awake late into the night.

This led the care home to set up a wide awake club to support night owls and get them back into a healthier rhythm.

I want to spread this kind of innovation far and wide, and Ive set up a dedicated adult social care unit in NHSX.

This will focus on setting technical standards, improving data sharing, enhancing skills and fixing the digital infrastructure.

Like longevity itself, better tech is an opportunity we wholeheartedly embrace.

Ill end where I began, and this is the message I want to leave you with.

Longer life is not a problem to be tackled but a goal to be pursued.

And not just for government, or even the NHS, but for each and every one of us.

Theres a huge prize ahead if we get this right: 5 more years of healthy life. More enjoyment out of life. More time for the things that matter most in life.

Im looking forward to working with you all to make it happen.

KEY POINTS

Zion Williamson is as good as advertised but his weight remains a critical issue. Being the third heaviest player behind Tacko Fall and Boban Marjanovic, there is no question that the top pick of the 2019 NBA Draft needs to shed off some weight if he wants to play pro ball continuously.

Currently at 284 pounds, Williamson is about the same weight as Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets. Among the top five players in the NBA, he is the only one who is undersized and is not a center. Though most reason that Charles Barkley was able to survive with that frame during his prime, the NBA today is far different.

For now, all Williamson can do is heed the advice of the New Orleans Pelicans. He needs to think long-term and be made aware that longevity counts, ESPN reported. The good news is that the 19-year-old is listening, aware that all of this is for his own good. He sat out the game against their game against the Indiana Pacers but returned emphatically with a star-caliber performance against the Portland Trail Blazers, Yahoo Sports reported.

The minutes of Williamson for the Pelicans for the remainder of the season will be interesting. New Orleans currently sits at the 11th spot of the NBA Western Conference with a 23-31 win-loss card. With a string of wins, the Pels could catch the last bus to the NBA playoffs. However, they are likely to encounter rough sailing getting beyond the first round.

New Orleans could be tempted to field in Williamson and go beyond the managed minutes they have in place. But the risk behind that could be catastrophic, placing the former Duke Blue Devil's future at risk. Based on his showing against the Blazers, there is no denying that Williamson is a future star but adjustments are needed as far as his playing weight is concerned.

Williamson is likely to work on his weight problem by the summer. If he intends to play continuously and longer, he needs to burn some calories and reach the ideal playing weight for a 6-foot-6 individual. A look at multicare.org shows that someone who stands at that height would ideally have a weight ranging from 193 to 235 lbs. Doing the math, this means Williamson will need to shed off about 50 pounds or more to be at his optimum best. This could also help address potential injuries such as his knees, something that kept him from playing the earlier part of the 2019-20 NBA season.

Zion Williamson seems bent on joining the Phoenix Suns next NBA season.
