[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Any small change is better than nothing. Pick anything that you can do. - Maintain weight. Be a bit (a couple pounds) underweight if possible. - Eat mostly a plant based whole food diet. Eat minimally processed food. If you become Vegan then you must take B-12 supplement, otherwise, if you want to be an omnivore then your meat, poultry, fish and dairy should be organic. - Eat lots of veggies and fruits and eat it before you have any protein or carb. - No soda, no added sugar, no junkfood, no alcohol, no tobacco product, no drugs. - Alkaline food and drink is the best. So drink lemon water and drink at least 8 glasses of water. - Do OMAD diet now and then. People who do fasting (like muslims during Ramadan) have lower risk of cancer due to autophagy. - Do yoga for flexibility. Walk 8-10K steps a day. Lift weights. - Dental health is must. Daily - Floss, water pik, salt gargles and clean tongue with a copper tongue cleaner. Twice yearly professional dental cleaning. - Shower in the morning and then get morning sun exposure. Do not shower for several hours after getting your sunlight because it takes several hours for the vitamin d to be absorbed in your body. - Multi-vitamin every day. Take the trio of - Vitamin D3-magnesium-K2 MK7 daily. - Get your complete physical done in the first two months of the calendar year and make sure that all your deductibles are met early in the year. Get all your vaccines on time - flu, shingles, pneumonia etc. - Take daily turmeric golden milk. Do not exceed more than 1 tsp of turmeric a day. It will control inflammation and pain. - Get adequate sleep of good quality. Practice sleep hygiene. Get a sleep study done to make sure that you do not snore or do not have sleep apnea. - Get a full cardiac check up done - CT Angio, ECG, EKG, nuclear stress test - every year. Get your colonoscopy and endoscopy done every 5 years. Get a mammogram and pap done if you are a biological woman. - Get regular eye checkups, eat a well balanced vegetable heavy diet, do eye exercises, wear good quality sunglasses to protect your eyes, do not stain your eyes from excessive screen usage, and naturally charge your rods and cones of your eyes by looking at the early morning redness of the sky due to sunrise for a minute or two. - Maintain social connections, entertain people at home regularly, make the effort to help others, be patient and forgiving, be pleasant to others. Remove negativity from your life. Pray or meditate regularly. - At the age of 55-60, you should do a Swedish Death Cleanse and adopt a minimalistic lifestyle. The less stuff you have, the more time you will have to live your life. Downsize your possessions. - Do Soduku, crossword, puzzles etc. Learn new things. - Be familiar with technology and do not fear it. - Do core exercises. Improve your posture. Make sure that the muscles of your legs remain strong and you have good balance. Tai Chi and Yoga are good for balance. - Keep on making new friends. Travel. Have hobbies. Watch movies. Listen to music. Do things that you enjoy. - Wear seatbelt while driving. Always wear good and supportive footwear. [/quote] None of this will add a statically significant amount of time to your life. You’re still going to die. Ultimately it’s mostly genetics. So enjoy yourself. Don’t waste time counting the number of hours between your shower and sunshine. I’m honestly snickering that there’s someone doing this.[/quote]
