He recently placed third overall in powerlifting at the 2025 National Senior Games in Iowa, beating men many years younger than him. Business Insider's Sarah Andersen and Mark Adam Miller followed Rauscher earlier this year as he trained for the games: While his diet is a key part of his training, he's not super strict about it. Rauscher allows room for the occasional chocolaty treat, eats dairy and meat, and avoids extreme restriction plans, such as low-carb or high-protein diets.

Dr. Kevin Sprouse, owner of Podium Sports Medicine andmedical advisor for longevity clinic Eternal, has worked with elite athletes for more than a decade, helping them to achieve peak performance. He told Business Insider that the same science can help anyone live a longer, healthier life - by targeting factors like VO2 max and lactate threshold, key measures of fitness and endurance. His prescription for the best results - even on a tight schedule - is a mix of strength training, steady cardio, and interval training.

when my cardiologist friend-the one who runs marathons and tracks his heart rate variability like it's the stock market-turned to me and said, "You know who's going to live longest? You." I laughed. Actually laughed. "Seth, you're literally the picture of health. You've got perfect labs. You eat salmon and blueberries. I had wine for breakfast." (Kidding. Mostly.) He looked at me with that doctor face, the one that means he's about to tell you something that matters.

If you are like most people, the thought of longevity means focusing on your physical health. And usually, that boils down to diet to optimize physical health. But did you know there is something even more important we should focus on? Our social health. The whispers about our social connections being a key to living healthy to 100 are becoming screams.

"I can no longer come to the restaurant every day ... but even at 100, I try to work if possible. I believe the best medicine is to work."

Grip strength was found to be a better predictor of premature death than other barometers, like blood pressure, in a massive study that tracked the health of 139,691 people for a median of 40 years. Another review of literature on the subject concluded: "There is adequate evidence to support the use of grip strength as an explanatory or predictive biomarker of specific outcomes such as generalized strength and function, bone mineral density, fractures and falls, nutritional status, disease status and comorbidity load, cognition, depression and sleep, hospital-related variables and mortality."

At a time when the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement is spreading across the U.S., 101-year-old Ann Angeletti who still works six days a week embodies the exact opposite ethos. Let's call it WATER (Work And Thrive, Evade Retirement). It's a fitting acronym, given she's cool, brimming with life and remains enthusiastic about running her store, Curiosity Jewelers in Cresskill, New Jersey.

A startup called Orion is ready to take on America's sleep loss epidemic with a new, AI-enabled mattress cover that can adjust its temperature throughout the night to maximize comfort and rest. Cofounder and CEO Harry Gestetner previously cofounded the startup Fanfix, which helped Gen Z content creators build paid subscription programs. After the company sold to SuperOrdinary for a reported $65 million, Gestetner says he became interested in sleep and its well-documented links to health and longevity.

The only signs of LeBron James inside the locker room an hour before the Los Angeles Lakers' preseason opener tipped off in Palm Desert, California, last week were his gold No. 23 uniform hanging in his cubby and a triangular foam cushion placed on the seat beneath it. The jersey would not be needed on this night. The cushion would.

There is an iron law in nature: the larger a species, the longer its members live. That's why whales outlive elephants, and elephants outlive lions. Very few animals defy this rule. Humans have circumvented it thanks to culture. But there is a small animal that laughs in its face. Given its size, the naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) shouldn't live more than two years, yet they often approach 40. What's more, they age healthily, without typical age-related diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, or arthritis.

Our working hypothesis is that, until the 1960s, the population of Arzachena was very similar to that of Ogliastra,

Summer might be over, but a new study is making a convincing case for extending your beach vacation days into the fall and winter - or even making seaside living a full-time thing. According to findings from The Ohio State University, your home's proximity to the ocean can directly impact your long-term health as well as how long you live.

Mabel Wells - or Memmie, to her family - lived her entire life in rural Kentucky. During the hourlong drive to her house, my younger sister and I counted cows and tried to guess which field went with what crop. Mabel was born in 1909, at a time when the Titanic was being built, World War I was still five years away,

When I was younger, I had more time to take a spray-and-pray approach to my health and wellness,

Talk to a clear-head­ed 107-year-old today, and you could expect to hear sto­ries of ado­les­cence in the Great Depres­sion, or - if you're lucky - the Jazz Age seen through a child's eyes. It's no com­mon expe­ri­ence to have been formed by the age of radio and live deep into the age of the smart­phone, but arguably, Michael Fitz­patrick lived through even greater civ­i­liza­tion­al trans­for­ma­tion. Born in Ire­land in 1858, he sat for the inter­view above 107 years lat­er in 1965, which was broad­cast on tele­vi­sion.

A growing number of the world's richest entrepreneurs are using their wealth to fight aging. They're taking supplements, abiding by fitness routines, and investing millions into research.

He died on Thursday, and "worked until his final days, dedicating himself to the company, the collections, and the many ongoing and future projects," the Armani company said in a statement. In his last interview, Armani told the Financial Times that his greatest weakness was his inability to relinquish control.

Video of the translated comments quickly spread on social media as Putin, Jinping, and North Korea's Kim Jong Un viewed a military parade in Beijing this week. The moment between Putin, 72, and Jinping, 72, was carried on state broadcaster CCTV. Bloomberg also ran the footage. With continuous advances in biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted. The longer you live, the younger you become, and (you can) even achieve immortality, Putin told Jinping, according to the translation.

"It does freak me out when I sit back and, in retrospect, think about it," Chino Moreno says of Deftones' longevity.

"I know what it feels like to fall in love, and to feel sad, and to feel envy, and to feel joy, and to feel accomplishment, and to feel shame," Johnson said on the Core Memory podcast on Thursday. "But what else?" Johnson said he wanted to create a "map" of human consciousness to explore the convergence of mind and machine. "If you can, in fact, pair the brain with AI, what could AI do with you, in terms of exploring consciousness?" he said.

Ethel Caterham, the last surviving Edwardian and the world's oldest living person, celebrated her 116th birthday on Thursday.
