I've found most benefits that make me seem years younger are likely linked to:
- Some form of resistance training (in my case oly and general strength training)
- Walking a lot (a benefit of a walkable city) as part of routine, rather than a scheduled exercise
- Not snacking, sticking to scheduled meal times
- For me personally, intermittent fasting in the form of skipping breakfast. Not only is breakfast unnecessary for most of us, you'd be surprised by how much you can achieve fasted, you might even find an enhanced energy.
I'm sure resistance training can be substituted for other 'training' by which we mean a stimulus strong enough to lead to an adaptation. With the adaptation to the exercise comes some of the benefits - like optimal cardiometabolic health.
