Dana Smith's article "The Seven Keys to Longevity" summarizes great wisdom for health at any age:

1. Move more — keep your body active – "... The best exercise is any activity you enjoy doing and will stick with ..."
2. Eat more fruits and vegetables — and don't worry too much about weight
3. Get enough sleep — "... especially important for brain health ..."
4. Don’t smoke, and don’t drink too much either
5. Manage your chronic conditions
6. Prioritize your relationships — "... strong relationships are the biggest predictor of well-being ..."
7. Cultivate a positive mind-set

Bottom line:

If you had to pick one healthy practice for longevity, “do some version of physical activity,” Dr. Moore said. “If you can’t do that, then focus on being positive.”
