The number of Americans who live to age 100 or greater increased 43% between 2000 and 2010, and they tend to be healthier! People who live into their 90’s and beyond tend to be healthier, and when their time comes it is more often quick and sudden. If you didn’t know this, you’re in good company. But as the population ages, and in 2035 the first boomers hit 90, the goal of people across the demographics will be to live longer.
And as people focus more on living longer, they are going to want to do “something” to stay healthy.
Datapoint: Vitamin sales keep going up in a trend that will continue for decades.
Weiniger’s Observation: Credibly offering people a product or service enhancing the ability to stay healthier, longer, will have an increasing value as current patients, clients or consumers demonstrate to their social groups the value of your your product or services.
Which is why promoting Strong Posture improvement exercises makes sense to bridge from acute episode rehab to lifestyle wellness.
