If someone tells me kale is carcinogenic imma lose it because it does not taste good. I’m not eating this for fun you know.
Have you only tried it raw? There are ways to cook it without losing too much nutrients. Cooked kale still has noticeable health benefits according to some studies I found.

I really want to know, why don't we all supplement with L-arginine long term? Time-release capsules are available and I have taken for numerous issues like RSI to great success. Whats the downside to long term usage?

Reminds me that the healthiest activity during the pandemic was being at the beach and losing weight. Unfortunately that wasn’t stressed enough.

I'd like to add(0, •) another item to your list: 0. Stop mouth breathing and do nasal breathing whenever possible because only the latter produces nitric oxide, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_functions_of_nitr...
I’m not sure what the proper name is for this idea, but I consider ageing to be a trade-off between cell-regeneration, which maintains youthfulness, and mutation-limitation, which reduces the chances of cancer. That is to say, if you “aged less”, you would get cancer more/sooner. Everything else, like the balance of chemicals in the body, I assume would be downstream of that.
I'm not a biologist, but I believe what you're talking about is telomerase?

Raw or cooked... the only way kale tastes good is when it's the garnish on a steak that gets thrown away at the end of a meal.

Exercise tends to help.
My kids have started taking swim lessons at the Y, so i've been sneaking up stairs to run a mile during their lesson. I've thought about strength training etc, but I have no idea what i'm doing on those machines. Can't say I feel any different, but it is enjoyable.
IMO: most of what makes fit people fit is becoming aware of their body in detail: how to use muscles, how they work, what they feel like, what they should feel like when they're working together -- all of this builds a foundation where, if they lost their fitness, they would just get it back again.
So if you don't know what you're doing: just learn by doing. Pick something that it seems like your body should be able to do easily, but can't, and fix it. Repeat x100 and you'll be fit as hell.

Floss once or twice a day, maintain gum health, and watch your diet. You don't need mouthwash. (Anecdata - at my most recent visit, my dentist told me to come back in 18 months.)
That’s strange for your dentist to give up money like that lol. But also, at dental cleanings they do things like polish your teeth. Do you also not require that?
My dentist insists that I see the hygienist every 3 months for descaling, cleaning and basic checks.
For the cynics, the cost of this is negligible and I have not needed a filling or any other costly procedure for over a decade.
