OLP Board Member Sir Muir Gray explains that ageing is a natural biological process -not a decline to be feared - and that by understanding it correctly, we can take action to live healthier, fitter, and more fulfilling lives at every stage.

This month’s Live Longer Better Plan explores how improving our environment can enhance health, resilience, and well-being. Submitted by an OLP subscriber and supporter, PhD candidate Gerda Bukauskaitė-Žiūkienė, this feature shares ten simple, evidence-based actions to help you improve your environment for yourself and others. 

Sir Muir Gray introduces the fourth theme of the Live Longer Better Plan showing how shaping our physical and social environments to support activity, connection, and purpose can help us live longer better.

In this third theme of the Live Longer Better Plan, Sir Muir Gray explains how many diseases often linked to ageing can actually be prevented or managed through lifestyle and environmental changes—showing that with the right knowledge and actions, you can prevent, manage, and live well for longer.

In this second theme of the Live Longer Better Plan, Sir Muir Gray highlights how fitness is essential to healthy ageing. Start moving today—physical activity isn’t just beneficial, it’s medicine, reducing dementia risk by 30%, heart disease by 35%, and type 2 diabetes by 50%.

With evidence-based optimism, Sir Muir Gray introduces the Live Longer Better Plan (A4, not AI)—transforming the science of longevity into practical, personalised action so we can not only live longer, but better.
