Jack Lalanne: "The only way to hurt your body is DON'T use it. Inactivity, that is the killer. And if man makes it don't eat it. Cakes, pies, candy, ice cream, soda pop, if it tastes good spit it out. Exercise is king, nutrition is queen, put em together, you got a kingdom."

eat natural organic foods, stay away from genetically modified foods
genetically modified foods will have less health benefit than natural foods, because they take away from, not add to, the nutritional content of the foods. or, they alter them in such a way that may result in adverse unnatural effects in the body such as in the digestive system - problems associated with the digestive system (stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys, bladder, etc.)
avoid man-made chemicals in food like aspartame and other sugar substitutes
man made chemicals will mess you up, in the long run of course. so then you'll be dependent on medications later on.
get enough sleep each day
sleep is crucial to being alert but also for body function and rythem.
stop the junk food
junk food will mess you up and turn you into a crappy flabby.
