Plant based foods -- good for the planet, good for general health including absence of health problems -- from not restful sleep or Constipation.
Food:
- Start my day with two to three cups of cold water
- Eat plenty of variety of fruits
- Most food are steamed (potatoes, carrots, and Kale or the wrinkly kind)
- Mostly vegetable oil

Physical Activity:
- Start my day with yoga / Pilates stretches
- Stand many hours each day, especially on long phone calls
- Do pull ups (upto one and a half! Yes that my limit in my 8th decade)
- Dips in stairwell and walking often all 12 floors
- Walk briskly each day at least 30 minutes; an hour+ about once a week

Intellectual Activity:
- Serious reading about mental health issues; Top disability issue (WHO)
- Solve for fun Sudoku or Wordle games
- Each day I start with what's most important work in my Life today

Thank goodness, no need yet for any meds, tests, doctor visits

Good luck, my friend!

Very good advice, thank you.
I have syringomyelia along with a few other health problems.
Unfortunately I'm not in as good as health as you are, and I'm probably 20 years or more younger than you.
But they say it's never to late to get on the right track.
