What if we all live to 100? With Professor Tim Spector OBE and Sara Siegel

What if we all live to 100? With Professor Tim Spector OBE and Sara Siegel

Author: Deloitte UK September 19, 2023 Duration: 38:09

Global life expectancy has risen by over 50% since 1950. And one in three children born in 2016 will live to 100. But what will more of us living for longer actually look like?

It could look amazing. More time to achieve everything we want to achieve. See everything we want to see. Spend time with our loved ones.

But there's lots to consider if we're going to live for a long (and happy) time. How do we look after ourselves? Who looks after us – and who pays the price?

For this episode, we're joined by Professor Tim Spector OBE, an award-winning scientist and author, and Sara Siegel, Global Healthcare Sector Leader at Deloitte.


Tune in to find out:

  • Which new technology is already helping to improve our healthcare systems
  • What are the biggest factors that influence our health as we age
  • How businesses could improve quality of life for an aging workforce
  • The healthy habit that both of our guests did before arriving to our studio

Professor Tim Spector is one of Britain's leading nutrition experts, but each individual's dietary needs and restrictions are unique. Our aim with The Green Room is to provide a different perspective and help you think differently, but as with anything we discuss in our episodes, we encourage you to do your own research or consult a qualified health professional before starting a new diet or health programme.
