Lots of factors involved in overall health. The Blue Zone Studies are one of the best tools available when looking for commonality leading to overall health and longevity. Stress and how we process it is a vital part of the whole. Strenuous exercise is very beneficial in reducing stress. Meditation is another excellent tool. I like to combine both and cycle. I find it very necessary to engage a couple hours in some activity that I do only for the pure joy of doing it. I don't carry a phone or any device to record my progress when I cycle. I kayak tour a bit as well. I do both just for the enjoyment of living in that moment. Both are my stress relief valves and meditation vehicles. Good luck.
