Remove one item from your home to live longer, says a 92-year-old cardiologist

Better posture

Less back and neck pain

Improved mood

Greater patience

Reduced anxiety

Stronger family bonds

More consistent routines

These changes don’t feel dramatic—but over years, they compound.

And the heart notices.

Why a 92-Year-Old’s Advice Matters More Than Ever

Modern life is faster, louder, and more stimulating than ever before.

If television influenced health in the 1970s, its modern descendants—streaming platforms, autoplay, endless content—magnify the effect.

“The heart evolved for movement, rhythm, and connection,” Dr. Morgenstern says. “Not endless watching.”

His message isn’t anti-technology. It’s pro-awareness.

The Simplest Longevity Experiment You Can Try

You don’t need to commit forever.

Try this instead:

Remove the television from your main living area for 30 days

Replace it with chairs facing each other, a plant, books, or open space

Notice what changes without forcing anything

Pay attention to:

How often you move

How you sleep

How you feel in the evenings

How you interact with others

How time feels

“Your body will tell you if it was a good idea,” Dr. Morgenstern says.
