Move 30+ minutes
A brisk walk counts; regular activity is the single strongest longevity habit.
Sleep 7–9 hours
Consistent bed and wake times matter as much as duration.
Eat plants & protein
Vegetables, fiber, and protein at every meal; mostly unprocessed food.
No smoking, little alcohol
The two largest avoidable risks — no safe smoking level, less alcohol is better.
Connect with someone
Real social contact daily; isolation rivals smoking as a mortality risk.
Unwind deliberately
Ten minutes of daylight, breathing, or a quiet walk to keep stress in check.
