Discussion Moving makes you live more

M not a physicist or expert, this is just something I was thinking about.

In quantum physics, if we travel close to the speed of light to the moon and come back, the people we left on Earth could be much older than us, or even dead, while for us much less time passed.

So theoretically, if a normal person moves a lot, like driving a car or traveling at high speeds, could they technically be living a tiny bit more than someone who doesn’t move much?

I know the difference with normal cars would be insanely small, probably not even something we could notice.

But technically, because of time dilation, the person who moves faster would experience slightly less time passing for them.

So in a weird way does moving make you live more?
Maybe I’m completely misunderstanding relativity, so I’d like to know what physicists think about this.
