The way I see it, people in Japan seem to live the longest / most healthy lifestyles generally speaking.

Correlation not causation but here are some of things I’ve noticed:

1. Eat mostly anything - no restrictions on types of food

2. Active lifestyles - people tend to move more.

3. Stop eating before “oh man I’m full”. It’s basically part of the culture here.

4. Sports - see many adults playing into adulthood

5. Go to doctors often. Any slight issue - people get checked out. Btw I never see media mention this.

Italy and some other countries have some pockets of crazy longevity. Common threads that could probably be added to your list included...

-Supporting community around them

-Daily walks

-Nap or enough sleep

There’s a place in Japan, forget which, that has the highest concentration of centenarians - and the primary distinguishing factor seems that they all stick together as a community, visit and chat daily.

I don’t know if connections have to be in the meat space or if virtual will suffice

Joking aside it was the same for the Italian towns I read about. They weren't particularly healthy eaters but the community was lovely and very supportive.
