What’s better than owning a $300,000 sports car? Not wanting one.

At the age of 50 the divergence in biological age becomes extreme. Some people still look and move like they’re 30—others might as well be 70. The difference? A million small choices compounded over decades. Individually, they seem inconsequential: —One skipped workout —One
