Early detection of cancer and CVD are great but fairly standard anyway if you just follow recommendations that already exist.

Getting sufficient potassium (lowers blood pressure) and not too much salt (raises blood pressure) does take deliberate effort. Those with high blood pressure need about 3500mg of potassium per day (about 8 bananas) and <1500mg of sodium; this applies during the whole day, not just during exercise.
VO2Max can be helpful for guiding the type of exercise at any given point in the fitness journey. People starting out benefit a lot from low intensity cardio (zone 2), but at some point, their VO2Max will plateau, which is a good sign to start layering in zone 5 or interval training.
People who are very dedicated to health can achieve all goals simultaneously, but for the average person, I think measuring your biomarkers and then choosing where to expend limited effort is a good approach.
Depends on what you replace the saturated fat with.
Remember that the claim that saturated fat is 'bad for you' is based on correlations (nutritional research is hard, yo) and that saturated fat is in a lot of trash food. If you keep eating trash food with low levels of saturated fat, your health will still suffer. If you eat lots of saturated fat from healthy sources, you improve your nutritional situation.
tl;dr: 'Saturated fat' is a misleading proxy for 'unhealthy food'.
Lots of dietary fiber being healthy is pretty uncontroversial, though.
