Marcos Vázquez, creator of Fitness Revolucionario: 'These are the ordinary things that will help us achieve extraordinary longevity'
Marcos Vázquez discusses key habits for achieving longevity at the Longevity World Forum in Madrid, emphasizing the importance of ordinary daily practices.
At the recent Longevity World Forum in Madrid, Marcos Vázquez, founder of the influential health blog 'Fitness Revolucionario', spoke passionately about the critical everyday habits that contribute to longevity. He emphasized that, contrary to popular belief, the science of longevity does not require extraordinary efforts but rather consistent, ordinary actions. Vázquez's message highlights the importance of maintaining good daily habits instead of succumbing to the overwhelming amount of trendy health advice that often lacks scientific backing.
Vázquez laid out his 'pyramid of longevity', which is founded on several essential practices that form the foundation of a long and healthy life. He recommended a range of behaviours, including getting between seven to eight hours of sleep while avoiding electronic devices in the bedroom, taking between 8,000 to 10,000 steps each day, adopting a nutritious diet, and fostering social connections. This straightforward approach aims to simplify the path to health and well-being, steering clear of complex or extreme health fads that often mislead people.
His talk received considerable attention as he positioned himself as a leading voice in the realm of health and wellness in Spain, inspiring many with practical advice that relates to daily life. Vázquez's insights reflect a growing trend toward emphasizing sustainable health practices over fleeting lifestyle changes, advocating for simple but consistent actions that can lead to extraordinary longevity in the long run.
