If you don’t have an account with ET, I’ll post the cliffs;

1. No Drugs
2. No smoking
3. No alcohol, with an exception for specific red wines from Italy, possibly the result of being high in antioxidants (their culture aligned with this entire list too) Any binge drinking, even if once a month, had a significant impact, as well as drinking every day.
4. Activity; not just exercise, but general activity. Gardening and other outdoor activity, walking, hiking etc.
5. Strong social connections. Friends and family.
6. Marriage for men. They found no difference between women who were and were not married.
7. Spirituality and religion. That’s right boyos, get right with God and your inner spirit beasts. Atheists on suicide watch.
8. A sense of purpose and a meaningful life. Self worth. Nihilists on suicide watch
9. The biggest factor that they found was conscientiousness, which seemed to have an impact of 5-10 years of life. Misc on suicide watch. We gon’ die early misc.
10. Healthy ways to deal with stress and anxiety.

Millennials are doomed.
Can I smoke weed if I don’t smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol?
