Kids in a home with grandparents are healthier.

The people you surround yourself with influence your behaviors, so choose friends who have healthy habits.

Inconvenience yourself: ditch the remote, the garage door opener, the leaf-blower; buy a bike, broom, rake, and snow shovel.

The gym and the treadmill is a good idea. But the problem is we spend so much effort in marketing messaging, deluding people into thinking if you get on your treadmill or you go to the gym, that's what you need. People who join a gym, the vast majority of them have quit within nine months and almost all of them have quit within two years. So if it's a longevity strategy, does not work.

Having a purpose and knowing exactly what your values are will add additional years to your life.

Have fun, be active. Ride a bike instead of driving, for example.

Select your friendships carefully. Gather people around you who will reinforce your lifestyle.
