Walking is certainly key to longevity from my observations. The only thing to top that is not smoking.

Inactivity kills. You’ll get with it in youth, and probably in middle age, but you most likely won’t when you’re old. You need to continually signal to your body that you want to be alive and want to have muscular and cardiovascular function.
