"the three top things for longevity are"

genes,
avoiding accidents, hazardous occupations, and wars,
and

staying young

How To Keep Young Satchel Paige was taught the lessons of life by living them... 'Satchmo' or Leroy Robert "Satchel" Paige had an unbelievable way with words that were more than legendary.

If ever a modern high-quality modern motion pitcure about a ballplayer needed to be made it would be about Satchmo, his life story, and his famous lists.

"I never threw an illegal pitch. The trouble is once in a while I toss one that ain't never been seen by this generation." - Satchel Paige

How To Keep Young by Satchel Paige
#	Keeping Young
1.	Avoid fried meats which angry up the blood.
2.	If you stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts.
3.	Keep the juices flowing by jangling around gently as you move.
4.	Go very light on the vices, such as carrying on in society. The social ramble ain't restful.
5.	Avoid running at all times.
6.	Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.

What's longevity if you're miserable, though? IMO the most important things for life, be it long or short, are having a purpose and acting upon it; having curiosity and exploring the questions one is curious about; and service to others. I'm not sure about statins. I tend to think the less drugs you take, the better. But I agree it's good to eat beneficial oils, and exercise. However, some people totally overdo things. Moderation, in all things- including exercise. Some people are nuts about exercise- and wind up tearing their heart muscles- you'll read about that phenomenon on the net. I think moderate constant exercise is probably the best lifelong pattern, rather than that aggressive stuff some people do (or even worse, the sedentary folks who become weekend warriors- I think they often drop dead from stress induced heart attacks.)
