## Description

HowToLiveLonger is an evidence-based health guide and research compendium designed to help individuals optimize their lifestyle for increased longevity. It functions as an open-source knowledge base that synthesizes complex medical studies and health data into a structured, actionable format. By providing a framework for personalized wellness planning, the project enables users to make informed decisions regarding their long-term physiological and mental performance.

The project distinguishes itself through a rigorous, data-driven approach to preventative lifestyle management. It utilizes a version-controlled, markdown-based knowledge graph that allows users to track a wide range of health metrics, including physical activity, sleep patterns, body weight, and medication usage. This system is built as a static site, transforming a nested tree of interconnected text files into a navigable web interface that supports consistent, community-driven updates.

Beyond its core research synthesis, the repository provides tools for goal setting and performance analysis. It includes a comprehensive taxonomy for monitoring daily habits, environmental factors, and emotional well-being, allowing users to link specific behavioral changes to measurable health outcomes. The documentation is maintained as a static site, ensuring that all research and tracking methodologies remain accessible and transparent for ongoing community contribution.
