I saw an article on Cuba's healthcare recently. It pointed to how they have very good life expectancy and low infant and maternal mortality rates, even subjected to decades of brutal blockade.

Thought about preventive healthcare

Floss. Poor dental health affects overall health significantly.

Eat well. Sugar is hidden in everything and home cooked food from basic ingredients seems to be going out of style.

Keep active.

Get healthy sleep.

Meet other humans and do stuff with them.

People will do lots of other things and have small "health hacks". But if you don't get the basic things right then it's not really something you can fix by taking "antioxidants" or other measures.

One proverb that stuck to me is "Brush your teeth in the evening to keep your teeth. Brush your teeth in the morning to keep your friends."

I liked: not flossing is like pooping but only cleaning the cheeks.
