Lester Breslow, Who Linked Healthy Habits and Long Life, Dies at 97

Lester Breslow, Who Linked Healthy Habits and Long Life, Dies at 97 by Douglas Martin.

Surely there must be a word for an unintentionally self-affirming headline. "Dies at 97", marvelous.

I also like it for his list of behaviors to follow which would materially increase one's chances of a long life.

Do not smoke
Drink in moderation
Sleep seven to eight hours
Exercise at least moderately
Eat regular meals
Maintain a moderate weight
Eat breakfast

Not dissimilar to the short list of behaviors associated with financial well-being.

Complete high school on time
Get married and stay married
Get employed and stay employed
Save money, whatever amount
Have children only in wedlock

Lists of behavior so simple and yet so hard for most to achieve.
