We can influence 60 percent of aging through our behavior. For Prof. Grönemeyer, the pursuit of a long life does not mean 'longevity' - extending life with the latest options such as infusions, dietary supplements, apps, and biohacks. He focuses on natural aging with a conscious lifestyle. This includes an active mindset, lifelong positive shaping, healthy eating, good sleep, appropriate physical activity, and good social contacts. His wish is not to bring as many days into our life but to bring as much life into our days - whether at 60, 80, or 100.

Natural aging is a mindset. It means not placing so much value on the number on the birthday cake but trying to live with confidence in the now, even in difficult moments, and gaining more depth of awareness, connection, serenity, knowledge, joy, and gratitude. Living consciously and intensely, without fear.

Natural aging means a respectful approach to oneself. It is important to listen to one's body, to take care of it, and to allow for supportive check-ups. Prof. Grönemeyer outlines in the book the five essential keys to natural aging:

• Exercise until the urn!
• Movement keeps body and mind in shape
• Enjoyment is a must! Cook, eat, and drink deliciously and healthily
• Community! Being together strengthens, comforts, and revitalizes
• Take it easy! Those who relax and laugh live easier
• Sleep well! Better sleeping and staying healthy much longer
