Overview

• FITBOOK hosted the Longevity Lounge in Berlin, where moderator Nina Ruge led a panel with Nuno Alves, biomedicist Hannah Samira Schmidt, entrepreneur Prof. Dr. Hermann Bühlbecker and actress Eveline Hall.
• The panel’s core message stressed regular movement with endurance work and lifelong strength training, paired with sleep-focused recovery and avoiding alcohol that disrupts deep sleep.
• Schmidt said muscle functions as an endocrine organ and that everyday movement reduces inflammation, supports immune and gut–brain communication, and improves stress management.
• Ruge called for clearer public orientation given unreliable studies and said genetic tests can provide useful clues but are typically self-paid and should be pursued with medical advice.
• Personal routines underscored the guidance, from Bühlbecker’s regular tennis and Hall’s weight training to Alves’s post-operation return to exercise and use of sauna, cold exposure and breathing techniques.
