As pointed out, it is quite ironic having a 16-year-old starting a "Guide to Immortality". Here's a tip from someone who is a bit further down the road: don't go overboard on the extremes or absolutes (except for the smoking), in life you will be far better served by learning and applying moderation. Of course, in some cases you may feel that you are unable to exercise genuine moderation, or soon lose control, in which case an extreme may be your best solution, but overall my advice is to live a little, and instead cultivate the discipline to use moderation in most of the things above.
Oh, and yes, there is one really glaring item missing:
Exercise one hour every day.Truth hurts, but ignorance hurts more.

Drinking distilled water or water that has been treated with by reverse osmosis will be detrimental to your health. Having said that, I have recently and unofficially heard from a reliable source of organophosphates (a class of pesticide) being found in (very low quantities) in drinking water of a wealthy western country.
Point on moderation by AlmostDecent - I half agree. It's often spouted that moderation with everything is a healthy way of life, but in reality this is only true for some things (alcohol is one of them, and dependent on your genetic predispositions to cancer and heart disease). For example, eating fast food in moderation isn't going to benefit your health.

Since I clearly stated not everything was benefited by moderation, and gave a clear example, I'm not sure what your point is. As to fast food, I disagree. A person's health is not merely biomechanical and occasional fast food will certainly not do any harm to his physical health. Since the OP will be flooded (and already has) with a list of DOs and DO NOTs, the majority of which are as wrong as pointless, they will actually detract from his well-being in life. You can already see the signs in his list, with no fast food, no high-sugar, and of course a believed requirement to drink protein shakes. These exclusions and inclusions are completely unnecessary. If he decides to break his self-imposed rules, by eating a sundae, or enjoying a cheeseburger, he will suffer from feelings of guilt which are a great way to acquire an eating disorder.
Truth hurts, but ignorance hurts more.

I'm afraid not. You said most of the things above, and gave the one exception of smoking. I was just articulating what you were not able to or chose not to. Your attempt to draw a connection between cheeseburger guilt and eating disorders is making you look a bit silly. Although I do agree that the mental aspect to health is probably under-appreciated, but no doubt most people will use this as an excuse to justify their weak will power and indulge more often than they ought to.
juliacheh and the others - That's all well and good, but if something ever goes wrong with your body before you reach 50 you would have wished that you looked after your health. Then once you get to 50 you'll realise that you still feel like a 25 year old and want to keep on living. Without health you don't have much, so be wise, use some foresight and appreciate it while you've got it.
