In all seriousness, I'd say Yoda's list (plus removing any alien death crystals) will hit what you're looking for. I'm not a healthy person but a few years back I made an honest effort of it. My normal sleep pattern involves falling asleep whenever I get around to it. I stopped that and made myself lay down, lights off and no phones or digital devices/tv from that point on. It probably took a week or two to adjust, but at some point I started waking earlier, was refreshed, and by the time I got home my body was letting me know it was close to time to sleep.
Another thing I did was cut all chips and soda out. I lost around 10lbs from that alone, without any effort or exercise. I do notice, quite obviously, the improvement of my health physically and emotionally when I eat better after a couple of weeks. Even if it's just cutting the junk food and kind of still eating normal. This may sound weird, but even my skin feels better just cutting the junk food. I don't mean to the touch, but the feeling I have OF my skin. Oiliness wasn't near the issue it is normally, just by cutting such things.
Lastly, I started walking 2-3 miles every other day at the local park. I would eventually push it to jog a bit, walk a bit, slowly (like a month or two) working up to just sprinting as fast as I could even if I could only last maybe 20 yards. 2-3 miles every other day or three, walking half a mile, sprinting 20 yards or whatever, then walking another quarter mile, repeat or whatever. That improved my breathing, endurance, and made it much easier to want to go to sleep earlier in the night and helped me sleep more soundly THROUGH the night without waking up every few hours.
It might have only taken a solid month to get myself into the mindset to actively follow some basic level of standard for myself, but when I did I felt better, slept better, anxiety dropped by at least 50%, and noticed a general better attitude in myself. I guess I noticed because I wasn't AS miserable as I've always practiced myself to be, mentally.
I eventually stopped most of that. Now I'm exhausted, depressed, and angry at the world again. So yeah, there's something to it.
