I don't want you to think I'm taking a stab at the misfortune of your family, because that would never be my intention here. But it doesn't sound like your relative was living a life of moderation. It sounds like he was living a life of self-imposed depravation.

No offence taken..... he just did not like those things... liked to keep fit,eat healthy(he was a veggie)..... when he went to pubs he drank lemonade....maybe too much lemonade and secondary smoke did him in !!!!!😞

Whats your advice?
Do you just want a long life or a long and happy life?
I am sure that many of lifes risks can be reduced or avoided at the expense of happiness. For example car accidents account for a significant number of deaths so you could avoid driving whenever reasonable.
There are no guarantees so giving an example of someone who followed some advice and died young is not proof that the advice is poor.
I wonder how avoiding religion and politics at the diner table improves your prospects. I suppose you get to keep your spouse longer thus providing you with a better chance of a long life?
Regular medical checkups would be a big one. My guess is that a significant proportion of deaths could have been avoided (or delayed) if the sickness was discovered earlier and treated effectively.

It's not about living long. It's about living well.
Long life!
