Fitness

CONCLUSIONS: Low fitness is an important precursor of mortality. The protective effect of fitness held for smokers and nonsmokers, those with and without elevated cholesterol levels or elevated blood pressure, and unhealthy and healthy persons. Moderate fitness seems to protect against the influence of these other predictors on mortality. Physicians should encourage sedentary patients to become physically active and thereby reduce the risk of premature mortality. (Zillions of references here to do with fitness)

So basically, all one needs to do is move around to add more life points. Sounds like common sense, yes.
