Tu Youyou called her Nobel Prize discovery “A Gift from Traditional Chinese Medicine to the World.”

When hunting for a medicine to treat malaria, Tu turned to Chinese medical texts, initially collecting descriptions of over two thousand herbal, animal and mineral prescriptions.

Her search ended in the extraction of artemisinin – an anti-malarial that has saved millions of lives.

If you’re tuned into the health and fitness world (which I’m assuming you are if you’re here!) then I’m sure you’ve heard plenty of influencers and experts talking about “longevity” and the importance of living better for longer. Yet as with so many things, I’m acutely aware that much of the mainstream advice around longevity is very male-centered (don’t even get me started on Zone 2 training ), so I want to talk today about longevity for active women.

Before we go too much further, though, let’s define longevity, lifespan, and healthspan. When we talk about longevity, it’s easy to think only in terms of lifespan—how many years we live. But there’s another arguably more important concept to focus on: healthspan.

Healthspan is about how well you live throughout those years. It’s your ability to stay active, sharp, mobile, and independent—without being sidelined by chronic illness, injury, or fatigue. And for women, especially through midlife and beyond, this matters more than ever.

The good news? You have a lot more control over your healthspan than you might think. With the right training, nutrition, and recovery tailored to your physiology, you can increase your energy, strength, and resilience well into your later years. Let’s explore what you can start doing today to improve your healthspan—no matter your age—to live longer and better...

Pour une majorité de personnes, pleurer semble représenter le summum de la faiblesse, et probablement encore davantage à l’âge adulte : cela signifierait que l’on ne maîtrise plus ses émotions ou que l’on se laisse aller de manière embarrassante. La présidente de l'Ordre, la Dre Christine Grou, psychologue, mentionne dans sa chronique que ce n’est pas la personne qui pleure qui devrait inquiéter, mais plutôt celle qui refoule systématiquement ses émotions et qui ne verse jamais une seule larme.
