9. Excellent advice!

Here is mine: get enough sleep. Try to live a steady, not too stressful life. Enjoy friendships, music, and the arts. Eat healthy foods like veggies and fruits, and drink red wine, all in moderation. Get a yearly check-up, to detect any problems early. Brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush twice a day and floss, this will keep your teeth and gums healthy. Take a mini Aspirin every day. It's all about maintenance!

Also, if you don't have a pet, get one! They are great for de-stressing!
