90% of the benefits come from the first 10% of effort. Eat a balanced diet,
get sufficient exercise, see doctors/dentists as needed, avoid unnecessary
high-risk activities, don't smoke, drink in moderation, etc. The benefits of
one vitamin regime over another or one new antioxidant over another are
really insignificant.

Encourage overall economic growth and invest in space tech R&D.

future scenario that addresses them.
