I'm not joking...a guy NEEDS a vice or two, even a minor one. Doing all the right "healthy" things may give you a longer lifespan, but are you really "living"?

just so
If you are an old head with hypertension, you need to change a few things.
Cigarettes are out, eat the barrel of a pistol, better way to go out.
Otherwise, moderation in all things. I disagree with totally cutting out anything else you really want, maybe hard liquor and soda pop ought to go, not much of a cocktail guy, so maybe not the right guy to ask about that. Glass of wine with dinner, seems to keep the French from killing themselves with the cigarettes. Oats seem to be good for you, lots of them, but I like oatmeal and cheerios anyway.
EXERCISE you must, best to find something you like to do, partner to exercise with will make you less likely to blow it off, even a dog to walk with helps. Ought to lift weights too, especially if you are a post menopausal gal, keep your bones strong. You will be more likely to bounce if you do fall, instead of cracking a pelvis or something. Good diet, plenty of water, lay off the red meat, blah blah.
Okay, that covers body, but Yoda was right, more to us than just flesh and blood, mind and spirit matter. If you are running gasket blowing pressures, you are stressin'. Exercise helps to defuse this a bit, but you have to devote a little time to mental health. Go fishing, play with your kids/grandkids, build a 1/8 scale model of a Duesy straight 8, collect buxom brown gals and take pictures of them licking each other and a cold steel katana, go drive around and listen to that horizontally opposed music playing behind your head, grow roses or vegetables, chase racoons around your yard naked, make up an online persona and vent through that, self hypnosis, whatever works.
Oh yeah, vitally important, get adequate sleep.
