I forgot to mention maintaining good overall health and fitness throughout your life. There are exceptions regarding age. My old friend, master gunsmith Dennis Olson from Western Montana comes to mind. I recall going on a brutal 12 mile backcountry hike with Dennis, fording a river over a 50 foot fallen log, hiking with him through some hellacious steep terrain common in western Montana a few years ago all when Dennis was 80 and recovering from prostate cancer! Dennis was a loner really but wanted me to go in case I had to “pack him out.” His own therapy recovery program was to go up in the mountains with either his old Ford Bronco or snowmobile and cut timber rounds and haul them out. Tough guy.
