@rsdar I second all of this and want to reiterate a few points:
Mobility and range of motion is super important. I've been incorporating tons of yoga and I feel far healthier than before when I focused on just cardio and weights. Range of motion tends to decrease significantly with age unless you work at it.
Walking is super important, but so is standing. If you have an office job, or will in the future, do what you can do get a sit/stand desk. They say the new smoking will be sitting based on the health risks associated with sitting all day. Daily exercise simply can't make up for 8-12 hours of sitting every day.
Sunscreen!!! Yes!!! I'd also suggest adding a retinol serum when you turn 30 if you want to avoid wrinkles.
Teeth! So many people neglect their teeth and then need thousands of dental work just to keep their teeth from falling into pieces (literally!). Brush, floss, and use a fluoride mouth wash twice a day and get your cleanings every six months. It takes 5 minutes a day to care of your teeth and it's beyond worth the investment.
And I want to add, drink tons of water. Coffee, tea, soda, juice, etc doesn't make up for actual water. I shoot for 80oz of water per day plus any other drinks like my daily coffee, tea, and one seltzer water in the evening (and occasionally glass of wine).
Lastly, go to the doctor and get your check ups. Even if you feel fine, just do it anyway. Even high deductible plans cover annual check ups. Get your bloodwork done and make sure there isn't an underlying risk you're unaware of. I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease when I was 29 and felt totally fine until suddenly I was super sick. Annual bloodwork would have saved me from a lot of damage.
