Episode 26 | Movement for Long-Term Health (with Lavina Mehta MBE) [VIDEO]
Send us a textThe choices we make today lay the foundation for our health as we age. In fact, our midlife health is one of the strongest predictors of our long-term well-being. It really matters. Lavina inspires us to take action now, with her contagious optimism and enthusiasm shining through. I absolutely loved our conversation.Drawing on evidence-based research, Lavina shares that just 11 minutes of movement a day can significantly improve our health.
