Ellison recommends adopting these daily habits:

- Quit smoking—or don’t start
- Exercise moderately
- Eat more leafy, green vegetables every day
- Drink more purified water
- Limit milk consumption to moderate amounts of raw milk
- Eat walnuts, coconut oil or freshwater salmon for omega-3
fatty acids - Minimize refined grains
