Live longer

It seems like 2 or 3 times a week I see some kind of headline about someone's opinion or study, on how to live a longer life. 

I saw this one, this morning;
50 Habits That Help You Live Longer-according to science
Here are some of them;
* jog or walk
* eat more plant protein
* get more sun (but not too much!)
* drink coffee
* eat nuts
* don't smoke
* drink alcohol in moderation
* stress less
* pump iron
* eat more fruits and veggies
* stay hydrated
* get quality sleep
* eat more fish
* don't sit all day
* keep your brain active
* think positive - find purpose - maintain friendships - own a pet - laugh - sing...

You get the idea. Is any of this new? Other than the emotional aspects, does most of this seem like common sense? Yeah, that's what I thought too. 

How long do you want to live? Forever? Till you're 100? Older than that? Until a specific event? Have you even thought about it? I forget how old I am all the time, so I guess I don't think too much about it.
