The number one rule for a long, healthy life? Avoid infections. All infections, no matter how ‘mild’ idiots say they are. Most people who have ever lived died of an infection of some kind, before they were 15 years of age. If antibiotics and vaccination help you survive early infection, the infection will kill you by triggering chronic problems. Most chronic disease will (some researchers say) turn out to be caused by infections. Heart and neurological disease, and cancers, and many others.
