Proactively check:
- Sugars/HbA1c
- Lipids
- CRP
- FBC
- CMP
- TSH
- Vit D
- O3&6
- Testosterone

9. Use supplements
Many vitamins/minerals are hard to get the required amounts of from food alone.
Vitamin D, Magnesium and Omega 3 are examples of these.
Eat a diet with lots of single ingredient, nutrient dense foods.
Supplement to fill in gaps in your diet.

10. Maintain muscle mass
Muscle loss happens as you age and will rob you of your quality of life in your later years and make earlier death more likely.
Being active, building more muscle and using the muscle you have will mitigate against this.
