Is simply letting nature take its course enough to stay healthy as we age? In this episode of CGTN's Health Talk, Prof. Andrea Maier, Dr. Camillo Ricordi and Dr. Tim Shi share practical advice on healthy longevity and discuss the shared challenges facing global healthcare.

The experts explain how modern lifestyles disrupt the body's internal balance and suggest proactive daily habits, including intermittent fasting, cutting back on high-carb breakfasts and combining exercise with cognitive tasks.

Beyond individual habits, they stress that shifting healthcare from reactive treatment to proactive disease prevention remains a major global challenge – one that requires cross-border collaboration and resource sharing to overcome.
