In a recent episode of La Fórmula Podcast, cardiologist and longevity specialist Daniel Pérez shared his focus on prevention and the habits that can enhance long-term quality of life. He emphasized the importance of acting before chronic diseases arise.
Dr. Pérez identified five fundamental pillars for maintaining health: physical activity, balanced nutrition, good sleep, stress management, and strengthening interpersonal relationships. He also referred to advances in precision and regenerative medicine, as well as the potential use of artificial intelligence in anticipating diseases through biomarkers. Additionally, he addressed current topics such as VO2 max, supplements, and intermittent fasting, highlighting the need to adopt sustainable habits.
In his career, the doctor emphasizes that it is never too late to start taking care of one’s health and that any action, no matter how small, is better than inaction. Since specializing in healthy aging, he has stressed the necessity of correcting issues before they become serious and costly diseases.
Pérez examines conventional medicine, noting that it is effective for treating diseases, but often focuses too much on cure and not enough on prevention. “Conventional medicine is very good for curing,” he stated, but also underscored the importance of patients and doctors collaborating in the prevention of diseases that tend to develop over the years.
The doctor warned about the rise of chronic diseases associated with aging and shared that while time cannot be stopped, it is possible to slow down the aging process. His message is aimed at a broad audience, highlighting that health care is an increasingly relevant topic, especially among younger generations.
Dr. Pérez concluded by stating that through daily actions, health can be improved, and consequently, the quality of life in old age, which has generated notable interest in this field both in the medical community and the general population.
