Matt's health advice:
It is a game of odds, pull some levers and your odds get better.
Lifestyle is big, but at best you can go from 60-80 to 90 (years lived), or improve your health span.
Once you get cancer or dementia, you're toast. Many lifestyle factors can delay it.
Heart disease is excess calories, esp saturated fat & being sedentary (all 3) & is largely avoidable.
Cancer is what will kill you if something else doesn't kill you first.
Self-replies
Almost all top 10 deadly diseases are caused by/prevented by the same things- being sedentary, excess calories, sat fat, smoking, booze, eating 0 fiber. Even if you do all the right things, at best you'll stay active & healthy into 80s and die between 90-100.
This list of causes is a modern thing. We used to die of violence, (giving/being) birth(ed), bacteria, viruses, accidents.
