Henry Allingham, The last survivour of the Battle of Jutland and the worlds oldest man has died at the age of 113.
He atributed his longevity to the things listed in the title of this post...
There are now thought to be only two British WW1 survivors left alive. Harry Patch and (the now Australian) Claude Choules. John Babcock of Canada and Frank Buckles of the USA complete the list of 4 men who have been verified as survivng veterans of the Great War.
At times it does me good to remember that however crap I feel I'm not in a trench, or on a ship, under fire, and seeing my mates blown to bits around me... I just have a crap job, not enough money and am a miserable git.
