Default Maximizing life expectancy/enjoyment

After returning from obesity to normal weight (223/177/180) due to a
eat no crap/eat less/exercise more approach, I am now thinking about
health in general. What I would like to know is, what are the things
that a person can do to maximize their life expectancy/enjoyment of
life via various natural means (no meds).


There's a ton of stuff out there, but I think that some simple things are
Don't smoke
Wear your seat belt
Control your blood pressure and cholesterol
Eat decently, exercise, keep your weight within bounds
Depending on gender and age, have mammograms, Pap smears, prostate checks,
perhaps an occasional stress test
Use alcohol and recreational drugs with care
Do not act as an enabler to people who drive you nuts
