No known substance can extend life, but the chances of staying healthy and living a long time can be improved:


Eat a balanced diet, including five helpings of fruits and vegetables a day
Exercise regularly (check with a doctor before starting an exercise program).
Get regular health check-ups.
Don't smoke (it's never too late to quit).
Practice safety habits at home to prevent falls and fractures. Always wear your seatbelt in a car.
Stay in contact with family and friends. Stay active through work, play, and community.
Avoid overexposure to the sun and the cold.
Do not drink. While drinking may have a few benefits, its harm far exceeds its benefit.
Keep personal and financial records in order to simplify budgeting and investing. Plan long-term housing and money needs.
Keep a positive attitude toward life. Do things that make you happy.
