India Tops Global Rankings in Prioritising Longevity and Healthy Ageing

People in India want to live longer and healthier lives, and a new report says India is number one in the world at caring about staying healthy as we age.

Almost half of Indian people are doing things like exercising, eating well and getting check-ups to stay healthy for longer.

Many people wear smartwatches and use phone apps to keep track of their bodies.

India has a lot of older people — about 153 million — and that number is expected to grow very fast by 2050.

Because of this, doctors say it is important to stop sicknesses before they start.

Diseases like diabetes and heart problems have become the biggest health worries in India.

Companies are now making products and services, like health tests and fitness plans, to help people stay well.

Even some very rich people try strange ways to stay young, like taking blood from their own children.

But experts say the best approach is simple — good food, exercise and regular doctor visits that everyone can afford.

The goal is to help everyone spend their extra years feeling good, not just living longer.
