In short
Healthspan means the years you live in good health, lifespan only counts the years. The goal here isn't to live to a hundred and fifty, but for the last twenty years to feel like living: moving, sleeping, eating well and laughing with the people you love, so you grow old together, healthy. And kids don't copy our rules, they copy our days.
I don't want to live to a hundred and fifty.
I want my last twenty years to feel like living.
More years and more good years aren't the same goal. Try this: picture an ordinary day twenty years from now and what you'd want to be able to do.

Four everyday things, none of them extreme. Try this: notice which of the four got the least of you this week.
So we grow old together.
Healthy.
Healthy years are something you can share. Try this: invite someone you love to one of your routines.
Kids don't copy our rules.
They copy our days.
What children see us do often stays longer than what we tell them. Try this: think of one habit you'd be glad to see them copy.

Questions people ask
What is the difference between healthspan and lifespan?
Lifespan is how many years you live. Healthspan is how many of those years you live in good health.
What helps healthspan in everyday life?
Everyday basics like moving, sleeping, eating well and time with the people you love. What fits your life is yours to decide.
Do kids copy their parents' habits?
Often more than their rules. Kids tend to copy our days, so everyday habits can say more than instructions.
