A study of over 700,000 U.S. veterans reveals that adopting eight healthy lifestyle habits by middle age can significantly extend life expectancy. The habits include being physically active, avoiding opioid addiction, not smoking, managing stress, maintaining a good diet, avoiding binge drinking, practicing good sleep hygiene, and having positive social relationships.
