Living more is already a reality in Brazil: the life expectancy in the country has jumped from 43 to 77 years and, by 2030, the country will be the fifth of the world in number of people over the age of 60, according to IBGE. On this elderly day, Valeria Rosenfeld, medical director of Nestlé Health Science, a division focused on the health and well -being of the brand and the global leader of science and nutrition, invites us to rethink what is aging and see the power of longevity, bringing practical guidelines for those who want to maintain health, autonomy and daily welfare.

“Aging should be seen as a phase of power, with space for self -awareness and significant connections. More than a concern for physical health, it is also important to celebrate one’s trajectory, recognize the results and cultivate self -esteem,” says Dr. Valeria Rosenfeld.

He underlines that translating this vision into daily practices is what makes the long -term difference. “Because this power manifests itself in everyday life, it is essential to adopt habits that strengthen the body, mind and relationships. These are small choices that, incorporated into the routine, guarantee autonomy and vitality over time,” says Rosenfeld.

Day of the elderly and its resignation

For the expert, the elderly are also an invitation to resign longevity. “The Pro -eage concept invites us to celebrate the story that each person brings, taking care of the time to build a future with health and purpose. Longevity is not limited to the time lived, but to the quality and purpose that are placed at every stage. It is time for a healthy and active future is built”, concludes Rosenfeld.
