INFORMATION 
Physical health is necessary for life itself and provides the faculties and energy to do what you want in your life.  How well you eat; exercise; follow safe practices; sleep; avoid smoking, drugs, and other harmful substances; and otherwise lead a healthy lifestyle is a vital key to energy, longevity, and happiness.

ADVICE 
Despite our many advantages, Americans are the the most overweight people on earth; a high percentage smoke or take drugs; most fail to get the nutrients their bodies need; most eat too much fat, sugar, and calories; and most fail to exercise at least 3 to 7 times per week adequately.  

Good health habits involve simple actions that almost anyone can do regularly, yet most don't.   Good health, energy, physical fitness, and longevity are to a large degree a choice that you can make.  You say that most of your friends or family don't have excellent health habits so why should you?  Relatively few people are in excellent health by the time they reach 40-60 years old.  The daily practices beginning in their earlier years are what make the difference.  If you want to reach 85-100 and be relatively healthy even at those ages, these are the factors that can make the difference.
