The question is no longer if we can live past 100—it’s how we will live beyond 100. As life expectancy increases, we have the opportunity to redefine what aging means and reshape the quality of our extended years.

In today’s society, youth is glorified while the value of elders is often overlooked. But with 78 million baby boomers in the U.S. and the number of seniors expected to double in the next 25 years, we have the collective power to shift the narrative. By prioritizing healthy habits, strong minds, and active lifestyles, we can inspire a generational change—one that celebrates elders as a vital resource rather than an afterthought.

The key to changing society’s view on aging? Start with ourselves. When we embrace longevity with strength and purpose, we set the example for future generations.
