What stroke protocols do your doctors have for following this? You shouldn't have to figure this out on your own. With 10s of thousands of doctors around the world treating patients you would expect them to get together to address this issue. But they fucking won't, you're screwed unless you can afford to hire your own researchers for answers.

Answer by Ray Schilling, M.D., author of Healing Gone Wrong-Healing Done Right, on Quora:

The topic [of habits by people who live more than a hundred years] has been reviewed many times in the media and continues to fascinate people. Here are seven things you can do to stay healthy:

1. You want to stay active every day, even if you retire. You want to move and keep your mind busy. Part of that is to do a daily formal exercise routine to keep those muscles toned, which will prevent falls in the future.
2. Eat a Mediterranean type diet or follow the Okinawan diet. These diets contain less meat (or no meat as in the Seventh Day Adventist diet), but lots of vegetables and fiber. This keeps your cholesterol down, your arteries open and your metabolism controlled, preventing diabetes. If you are not obese and you have no diabetes, you are going to be OK with your cardiovascular system for decades to come.

3. Brush your teeth and floss every day. This will control the bacteria in your mouth and prevent leakage of them into your blood affecting your heart valves. Studies have shown that this prevents heart attacks. Look at the latest(

4. See your physician right away if there is a new skin lesion or anything that is different on your body. Removal of early cancer and treatment of any early medical condition is always easier to treat than waiting until it is out of control. Particularly with cancer treatment at an early stage, which usually involves only a small surgical procedure, this will reward you with a ripe old age.
5. Watch excesses like smoking (cut it out!), alcohol intake, and recreational drugs. Smoking causes heart attacks, strokes, and cancers, which shorten your life. Recreational drugs just interfere with your body chemistry and have side effects. Cut them out, if you cherish growing older than 100. Alcohol needs to be kept at a very low consumption, if you want to preserve your liver, which is your central metabolic organ. If you can’t handle moderation with alcohol consumption, cut it out. No one has died from not consuming alcohol. But, but: 5 Hidden Health Benefits of Alcohol I'm sure your doctor will never tell you about any benefits of alcohol. Don't start just because you read it here.
6. I did mention to avoid obesity, which is associated with metabolic syndrome and diabetes. Your ideal body mass index should be in the 21 to 22 range. You can achieve this by following the diets I mentioned above. You should cut out sugar and starchy foods.A June Lancet study came to a surprisingly different conclusion. Underweight people in mid-life seemed more at risk for dementia. Damn. You do fucking expect your doctor to know at least the right weight for you to be at?
    
7. Getting sleep regularly, having an optimistic outlook on life, and having good relationships helps to keep the immune system strong and keeps your hormones balanced. This in turn will keep you healthy emotionally and physically. But what about the research that says that pessimists live longer?
