Summary
Dr Sudhir Kumar said a large long-term epidemiological dataset links three daily baselines to more than 9 extra years of healthy lifespan.
The formula sets targets of 7.2 to 8 hours of sleep, 43 minutes of moderate movement and a roughly 70% clean diet rather than strict perfection.
Sleep in that window may support brain waste clearance and limit cortisol spikes, while daily activity can reduce insulin resistance and improve cardiovascular health.
Kumar said consistency matters more than extremes, warning that cutting sleep for early workouts or following overly restrictive diets can backfire and lead to burnout.
The report cites a social media post and says the claims were not independently verified, adding that readers should seek medical advice for personal health decisions.
