Longevity, Dr. Morek believes, is not just about living longer—it’s about living less frantically.
Why This Advice Feels Uncomfortable
Advice that targets food or exercise feels actionable. Advice that targets how we distract ourselves feels personal.
Television isn’t just entertainment—it’s companionship, noise, routine, escape.
Removing it forces a confrontation with:
Stillness
Presence
Time
And that’s exactly why it works.
A Final Word From the Cardiologist
When asked if there’s one message he hopes people remember, Dr. Morek pauses for a long time before answering.
“Your heart was not designed for constant stimulation.
It was designed for rhythm—activity and rest, connection and quiet.
If you want to live longer, give it back its rhythm.”
Sometimes, longevity doesn’t come from adding something new.
Sometimes, it begins by removing one familiar object—and allowing your life to slow down just enough for your heart to breathe.
