-eliminate sugary fruits and starchy carbs too (low-carb or even keto diet)

Sugary fruits are fine in moderation, and healthy starchy carbs are good because they keep you feeling fuller for longer and make you less likely to snack on junk.

Yeah, they're not the worst unless overdone, but there's also the idea of keeping stable insulin and glucose levels, and taking it to its full extent that's called a keto diet, which has clear benefits (as you might discover if you do research beyond preconceptions).

-avoid GMOs at all cost, and go organic wherever you can

There is a grand total of zero evidence to show that GMOs are in anyway harmful or that organic food is anyway more healthy.

You have done a grand total of zero research, outside of mainstream sources appealing to officialdom.

-avoid major toxins like aspartame, MSG, fluoride,

All evidence shows that recommended levels of aspartame, MSG, and fluoride are harmless.

Only if by "all" you mean the tiny sliver of selective scientific data you have received from perceived authoritative sources and are presuming represents an accurate perception of the whole body of evidence.

If you need antihypertensives, find which types work best for you and cycle between different types (there are like 7-11 types i.e. different mechanisms of action).

This is terrible advice. There is good evidence for which antihypertensive drugs are most effective in particular age groups, sexes, and ethnicities. You should only swap drugs if it is either ineffective or gives you side effects. Cycling between them exposes you to big swings in blood pressure as you stop one and start another, as well as exposing you to multiple side effect profiles, for no benefit.

That "good evidence" is in a general sense. Each individual is unique and generalizations aren't necessarily the best idea, unless you're interested in average/mediocre health. As with almost any drug, they each, when used chronically for long enough, end up causing side-effects, which many doctors will be eager to "treat" with a symptomatic patch while ignoring the root cause. You might notice that, say, chronic use of calcium channel blockers (one of the many types or mechanisms of action by which BP can be artificially lowered) cause swelling in the legs, so it might be a good idea to try switching to an ACE inhibitor or an ARB (two other types, which have a generally lower side-effects profile). I'm not saying that it would be a bad idea to consult with your doctor before making such a decision.

These are two of the biggest pseudo-scientific scams out there. They exist only to peddle their incredibly overpriced snake oil.

That exact idea is true about the pseudo-scientific (selectively-scientific) mainstream/industry beliefs you subscribe to, having done no research of your own. Don't forget to take your flu shots and to drink enough fluoride to protect your teeth. Wink

Indeed everything you say is true but there is better than all that is the power of the mind.
If our thoughts are positive in facing the day, then every illness will not easily approach us.

This is also entirely true, though if you're a Westerner you might be operating under particular belief systems that might make keeping good health much more difficult than it needs be.

Well, if scientists are crossing a tomatoe with a pinapple so the tomato is yellow, the size of a pumpink and taste like straberry I would definitely stay away.
However, humans have been doing GMO for thousands of years.

And also, most scientific consider that grafting is :

It has also been discovered that the horticultural process of grafting different plants together can lead to the exchange of genes, meaning humans have inadvertently been creating transgenic plants for millennia. From genome studies, we can see that gene swapping has been going on since the dawn of life.

Many plants are naturally GMO, research finds

There are many different levels to the idea of "genetic modification". In the broadest sense that you're talking about, the damage is limited to things like oversweet fruits contributing to things like overeating, diabetes, CVD. In the https://duckduckgo.com/?q=DNA+modification+technologies sense, it's the wild west, making a testing ground out of your body without your consent (at least without proper consideration).

Lots of useful advices! Let me add just a couple more which I consider quite important. Breathing and moderate exposure to cold. There are various methods. I would recommend Wim Hof method which combines both. Ease to do, doesn't require much time, gives you quick and tangible results. Highly recommended

Another winner! Combine that with (careful) fasting and you've got an extremely cheap yet powerful stem cell regeneration technology at your fingertips.
