Now, health span is the number of years of your life when you're free of disease, you're healthy, you're productive, you're zestfully enjoying life.

you're zestfully enjoying life. Disease span, the opposite of health span, is the time of your life spent feeling old and sick and dying.

the more chronic stress you are under, the shorter your telomeres, meaning the more likely you were to fall victim to an early disease span and perhaps untimely death.
