Have been away from here awhile, come back to lots of great advice. Here are some things that have worked for me after a heart attack 4.5 years ago that I didn't see listed in the thread already. Age today is 55.
Hormesis-hypothermic/hyperthermic conditioning (fancy way to say sauna and cold showers or ice packs/coats/belts regularly). This includes intermittent fasting/limited insulin window as well. Immense feeling of health and youth after getting into this routine. Gerd/acid almost nonexistent compared to in my 40s. I get bursts of euphoria now at all times similar to teen years. I think it may be due to HGH release or could just be the detox effect.
Herbs and spices - Ginger, raw organic Cocoa, Tumeric, Cinnamon (Ceylon not viet nam cinnamon) in protein shakes with organic psyllium husk fiber. Cilantro, Basil, other spices used freely in cooking. Cold brew coffee in moderation and gallons of organic gunpowder green tea made in bulk and chilled, little alcohol, little liquid calories, only dairy is organic brown eggs and a small hunk of cheese every now and then. I have no discernible inflammation any more. Lots of greens and cruciferous. 2 pieces fruit per day, not much other added sugar.
Rowing machine/ERG - Surprised no one mentioned this. Low impact. Compound exercise of many of the pull muscles that are hard to keep when getting old. Great for ass when concentrating on using glutes as a primary force. I don't worry about splits, just set tension to max and do about 300 calories at a time at a good pace that keeps heart rate at 130-140.
Most other stuff I do has been mentioned, good luck!
