I want to gather all the scientifically backed information about prolonging your lifespan for as much as possible. I mean, if we live long enough, we might be alive (and hopefully have enough money to afford) during breakthroughs in medicine that will allow to reverse aging. Or inject us with nanobots so we become immortal cyborgs or something.
Anyway, basics are: - no smoking, drinking or drugs (duh) - moderate exercise to stay fit. Professional athletes are not that healthy at all, so it's not good if you underdo or overdo it - try not to live in industrial area with shit environment and smog in the air - take reasonable safety precautions, like using seat belt in a car and not doing anything dangerous just to show off - get enough proper sleep - don't stress, if your job or life situation doesn't allow you not to stress, get another job and fix your life - don't overeat. If you are body positive and consider yourself curvy and not overweight, reconsider
>don't overeat. If you are body positive and consider yourself curvy and not overweight, reconsider My only complaint is that this leaves a loophole for anorexics which are unhealthy. Should probably change this line to don't over-eat or under-eat similar to the moderate exercise line.

>moderate exercise since you gave the context of pros and to assume we are all on the same page on what moderate means: moderate is not what you think it is user. Moderate is not walking. Hell it's not even jogging. Moderate is trying to compete at amateur level, basically. Go for triathlon competitions or do some powerlifting with aspirations to win some prize in a shitty minor circuit, that's what will get you healthy. What you are after is increased bone density and good muscle transversal section so you have the functionality of a 35 year old man when you are 70. Exercise can also help to prevent most common injuries and diseases associated with aging.
TLDR aim to deadlift 3 plate by your 70s and you will live a good senescence.

Don’t drink hot drinks[1]. Don’t eat in the hours before going to bed[2]. Both cause esophageal cancer.

I generally agree. I think being able to run (and doing it regularly) at least 5 kilometers is the basis of what we should aim for. Add some weight lifting (or body weight exercises) to that and you are good. I think. Cardio, endurance a muscle mass pretty much covered.

5 grams of salt a day. Any less and it's bad for you, and more also starting to be bad for you. Just make sure you salt your food with a teaspoon or two per day.

I’ve noticed that whenever I eat late, my throat feels sore in the morning, as if it’s been bathing in acid.
