+1 great list

I would like to add a few things: I like to use an every 20 minute “get up and walk around timer” that my wife refers to as the get up and go scratch the parrot’s head alarm (he makes a nice little noise when he hears the timer). I work in about 90 minute sprints, and a short stand-up does not interfere with being in the flow.

Also, I live next to a national forest area, a trailhead is 200 feet from my front door. I find that two 20 minute walks a day help.

You are right on about food. About six years ago I stopped eating processed food, and I felt like that made me feel ten years younger (I am an old man, BTW).
