- eat few
- eat varied
- move more
- be with others
- sleep nice
There is only so far these things can take us though. A lot of (but still too little) research is being done on slowing down or maybe even reversing aging, which could increase our lifespan to 150 (or maybe even longer). Not only would we live longer, but we would stay healthier for longer as well.
If you're interested, make sure to check out the longevity subreddit[0], some longevity discords[1][2]. Also make sure to read Lifespan by Dr. David Sinclair[3] and/or Ageless by Dr.Andrew Steele[4]
Some other things to keep an eye on:
- Blood pressure
- Resting heart rate
- Brush teeth twice a day
- Reduce meat
- Don't smoke
- Reduce alcohol
- Avoid stress
- Your mental health

ps: the discords are a bit slow activity though IIRC
Modern life is never calling for bad ideas loudly, but tons of incentives that make you go the wrong way slowly.
Bad job -> stress -> comforting with premade meals too tasty due to sugar and additives. No more walking because you want to leverage your car. You delay sleep to work later (bad work practices) to have leisure.
When I did simpler but physically demanding jobs, I ate simpler, went to bed early because I was simply cooked but it didn't feel like stress, but good fatigue (the kind you have after long swim session).
Modern jobs also turn you against each other way too often. I firmly believe there's a huge amount of benefits of doing simple chores in team, rather than ruminating in your cubicle delaying answers in mails..
