SUMMARY:92NY Live: Eat Your Ice Cream—What Science Really Says About Living Well
DESCRIPTION:FREE for members & non-members \nEvery week brings a new miracle cure—another influencer promising longevity through algae smoothies\, cold plunges\, or a weighted vest. The wellness world has become a $5 trillion experiment in anxiety. What if the secret to a long\, healthy life isn’t found in any of it? \nHear Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel—one of the country’s most respected bioethicists\, physicians\, and policy thinkers—distill the science of longevity into some surprisingly simple but evidence-based rules: sleep well\, move often\, keep learning\, connect deeply—and don’t be afraid to enjoy dessert. \nIn this refreshingly honest and inspiring conversation that draws on decades of research and a lifetime in medicine\, you’ll hear why the biggest predictor of a long and healthy life isn’t kale or cardio—it’s connection. Why friendships\, community\, and conversation do more for your health than any $20 green juice ever could. And why ice cream really might be good for you. Moderation\, not deprivation\, is the point. \nThis event will be livestreamed with an in-person discussion afterward facilitated by Rena DeLevie.

SUMMARY:Verve Book Club: “The Sing Sing Files” by Dan Slepian
