Heart surgeon reveals four things people should never do after 40

That’s according to Dr. Jeremy London, a heart surgeon based in Georgia, US, who shared a video explaining the changes you might want to consider making as you hit middle age… if you want to give yourself the best possible shot at reaching old age.

Dr. London has over a quarter century of clinical experience as a board-certified cardiovascular surgeon, and he’s made it his goal to issue easy-to-digest health information designed to impart upon people medical knowledge they might not otherwise be inclined to take in.

Via his social media channels, Dr. London delivers short videos to this end. A recent one, uploaded to his TikTok, saw one of his sons enter his office and ask: “Dad, what things would you avoid after the age of 40?”

Dr. London then proceeds to outline four tips that he feels are important for anyone who’s just hit middle age – the first two, it should be said, can be applied to any age.

Alcohol

The surgeon advises that one of the biggest changes to make concerns the reduction or elimination of alcohol from your life.
