It's safe to say that longevity is a major buzzword right now. According to researchers from Stanford University, human lifespans are increasing by around three years every 25 years (in effect, three years every generation) and it's accepted that in the last century, our longevity has doubled - making 60 the new 40, and so on.

While this is undoubtedly good news (not least for those of us hurtling towards middle age), longevity isn't just about living longer: we want to live well, well into old age.
