8 Popular Longevity Products

Quality Additions to Enhance Your Lifespan and Healthspan

Since I wrote the book "Stay Healthy, Stay Youthful - The Science of Living to 150:  Cutting-Edge Longevity Science for Reversing Aging and Living a Healthier, Longer Life," friends and associates have asked me what specific things they can do now to get a head-start on longevity and general health. In this blog, I've identified 8 different products on Amazon, each of which would be a great addition to your arsenal. While you're browsing, you may see other lesser priced items that work similarly, and as long as they're highly rated, they may work also for you. I've either personally used these products, or I have friends who hightly recommended them to me.

1. The first of 8 Popular Longevity Products - Indoor Rowing Machine

Several years ago, I made a trip to Kauai, Hawaii with my then girlfriend and we rented a small canoe to row down the river to get to the hiking trail that would lead us to pristine waterfalls. It was so beautiful there, but we had trouble at first getting in sync and rowing properly in the canoe. Since I was stronger than her, I did most of the rowing and although I was in good shape, I was exhausted when we finally made it to the trail. I realized then the benefits of rowing, and the best way to replicate that in the city is with an indoor rowing machine.

Rowing delivers low‑impact, full‑body Zone‑2 and VO2‑style training—great for cardiovascular health, mitochondrial efficiency, glucose control, and posture.

I chose the PELETON Concept 2 RowErg (Model D) Indoor Rowing Machine, PM5 because it's known for legendary durability, accurate PM5 metrics, scalable resistance, and it folds for storage. This product lists at $1,299.00. It boasts a 4.8 or 4.9 rating on Amazon, which is huge. It does have a rather large footprint, and the fan noise may not be ideal if you're in a small apartment, but you won't find a much better overall experience on many other indoor rowing machines.

2. Smart Watch

I love my iWatch. It has many very cool features, but when I saw the Garmin fēnix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar, Multisport GPS Smartwatch, I was blown away! This watch boasts many features: Daily readiness, HRV, sleep, SpO₂, training load, and recovery insights help you periodize workouts, protect your circadian rhythm, and balance stress vs. adaptation—core longevity themes. It has an excellent battery, robust metrics (HRV, training readiness), and a durable build. It comes at a price (lists at $899 but usually on sale), and there is a learning curve, but you won't find a watch better suited to enhance your healthy lifestyle. And, it gets around a 4.6/5 rating on Amazon.

3. Breathing Fresh Air

Clean indoor air lowers chronic inflammatory burden—and it's good for respiratory and cardiovascular longevity. Especially when you live in the city, you're breathing in pollutants and toxins daily. In my "Stay Healthy, Stay Youthful - The Science of Living to 150" book, I do a whole chapter on environmental toxins and what we can do to counteract the sludge that makes its way into our bodies.

The IQAir HealthPro Plus XE Air Purifier boasts Smart HyperHEPA Filtration for Large Rooms up to 1125 sq ft - It covers Smoke, Viruses, Allergens, Asthma, Mold, Dust, and Pet Dander. It's Swiss Made, and WiFi Enabled. The HyperHEPA filter captures ultrafine particles down to 0.003 microns; it has a strong track record; and it's excellent for allergies, smoke, and urban pollution. It does have a filter that needs to be replaced periodically. Although it's got a hefty price tag ($1,199.00), customers rate it at 4.7/5 on Amazon, a very strong rating for an excellent product.

4. Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy, using low-level wavelengths of red or near-infrared light, promotes cellular repair and reduces inflammation, supporting skin health (e.g., reducing wrinkles), wound healing, and muscle recovery. It boosts mitochondrial function, increasing ATP production for energy, and may alleviate pain and improve joint function, as shown in a 2024 study in Journal of Photobiomodulation where it reduced arthritis symptoms by 30% in patients. Non-invasive and safe, it’s a promising tool for enhancing healthspan and combating age-related decline.

You can find a lot of different options here, but I recommend the Hooga Red Light Therapy, Red Near Infrared LED Panel, 72 Quad Chip Flicker Free LEDs, Ultra Series, Clinical Grade Device for Energy, Pain, Skin, Recovery, Sleep, and Performance.

That's quite a title for a product! This product boasts clinical‑grade irradiance, flicker‑free LEDs, a straightforward setup, and strong user satisfaction with a 4.7/5 rating on Amazon. It works best with consistent, short daily sessions (you can find the time!); the results are gradual, and you need to find a dedicated space for it.

You can find it here on Amazon usually for $399.00: https://amzn.to/4mpFqa1

5. Benefits of Massage

Massage therapy promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and alleviates muscle tension, enhancing overall well-being and supporting mental health. It improves blood circulation, which aids in tissue repair and reduces inflammation, potentially easing chronic pain conditions like lower back pain by up to 36%, as shown in a 2024 study in Journal of Pain Research. By stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, massage also enhances sleep quality and may support immune function, making it a valuable practice for boosting healthspan and combating age-related stress.

When you can't (or don't) go for a regular massage, or if you just want to concentrate heavily on one area, I highly recommend the TheraGun Therabody Elite (5th Generation) - Handheld Deep Tissue Massage Gun - Bluetooth Enabled Percussion & Personal Massager for Pain Relief in Neck, Back, Leg, Hand, Shoulder and Foot.

I discovered a rack of these at the gym where I regularly work out in San Diego, and I always use it as my 'reward' after my workout.

Percussive massage can reduce post‑workout soreness so you stay consistent with training—key for long‑term healthspan. At $329.00, the Theragun boasts deep amplitude, helpful app routines, it's quieter than older models, and it's travel‑friendly. It's not a medical device, and a select few people find percussive massage too intense... but I love it!

6. Smart Scale

I chose the Garmin Index S2, Smart Scale with Wireless Connectivity, which retails at around $199.99. Body‑composition trends, weight‑trend lines, and multi‑user profiles make it easier to monitor the lifestyle interventions I outline in my book "Stay Healthy, Stay Youthful - The Science of Living to 150."

With this scale, you:

• get accurate measurements for weight, weight trend, body fat percentage, bmi, skeletal muscle mass and more

• sync with your garmin connect account via wi-fi connectivity to see your data, get trend graphs and more (requires the garmin connect app downloaded to a compatible smartphone)

• sleek design features a high-resolution color display

• up to 16 user profiles allow multiple daily weigh-ins and unique goal tracking for each user

• battery life: up to 9 months; uses 4 aaa batteries (included)

• Included components: Index S2; 4 AAA batteries; 4 carpet feet; Documentation

I like the tight Garmin Connect integration, the multiple user profiles, and the trend graphics on this scale. Even knowing that body-fat estimates can vary vs. DEXA, and also the wi-fi setup can be fiddly, I notice that people generally love this scale, with a 4.6/5 rating on Amazon.

7. Best Blender for Smoothies and Protein Drinks

Although blenders are a dime a dozen, only a handful of them merit the accolades that you hear about the Vitamix 5200 Professional Grade Blender for Smoothies, Food Grinder and Emulsifier, 64oz Pitcher. This model retails at $499.99 but it is frequently on sale.

You can choose from black, black/red, or white. This mixer gets 4.7/5 ratings on Amazon, very high.

Smoothies make it easy to boost fiber, polyphenols, and micronutrients—big wins for metabolic health and inflammation control. I elaborate on these benefits in my upcoming book "Vitamins, Supplements, and Herbs for Health and Longevity:  Boost Your Immunity, Increase Energy, and Feel Younger in Minutes a Day."

The Amazon listing vor the Vitamix boasts:

• Variable speed Control: Easily adjust speed to achieve a variety of textures. The dial can be rotated at any point during the blend, so you’re in complete control

• Large Batches: The size and shape of the self-cleaning 64-ounce container is ideal for blending medium to large batches

• Hot Soup: The blades in the Vitamix container reach speeds fast enough to create friction heat, bringing cold ingredients to steaming hot in about six minutes

• Hardened Stainless-Steel Blades: Our aircraft-grade stainless steel blades are designed to handle the toughest ingredients, so from the first blend to the last, you get the same quality results

• Self-Cleaning: With a drop of dish soap and warm water, your Vitamix machine can clean itself in 30 to 60 seconds

• 7-Year Full Warranty: Blend your favorite drinks, snacks, and meals for years to come

8. Check Your Vitals Regularly

In addition to a first aid kit and thermometer, it is highly recommended to own a blood pressure cuff and pulse oximeter.

Home blood pressure tracking is one of the most powerful, inexpensive ways to manage cardiovascular risk—central to healthy longevity. Pulse ox monitors are also inexpensive, fit nicely on your finger, and monitor how much oxygen your body is intaking at any given time.

The last of our 8 Popular Longevity Products is the MRON Platinum Blood Pressure Monitor, Upper Arm Cuff, Digital Bluetooth Blood Pressure Machine, Stores Up To 200 Readings for Two Users, boasts Bluetooth app syncing, clear display, and it's widely recommended. The important thing is to check your cuff fit, and remember, it's a monitor - not a substitute for clinical care. This monitor retails at around $99.00 and you can find it here on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4lPafVy

How to Choose (and Actually Use) These Tools

Start with the basics (BP monitor + activity tracker). Knowing your blood pressure, sleep, and HRV trends helps you personalize training load, recover smarter, and catch red flags early. The OMRON Platinum and Garmin fēnix combo covers a lot of healthspan ground.

Pick one “exercise anchor.” If you want low‑impact, high‑return cardio with full‑body benefits, the Concept2 RowErg is hard to beat. Five minutes becomes 15, then 30—consistency is the longevity superpower.

Nail recovery and sleep. Clean air (IQAir), smart bodywork (Theragun), and short R/NIR sessions (Hooga) can reduce inflammatory load and enhance recovery. Use these as adjuncts to fundamentals like sunlight exposure, a cool/dark bedroom, and consistent bedtime.

Fuel well. A Vitamix makes daily fiber‑rich smoothies effortless—helpful for satiety, glycemic control, and micronutrient density.

Measure what matters. If you’re already in the Garmin ecosystem, the Index S2 keeps your weight/composition trends next to your training data, making habit tweaks easier.
